The Via Dolorosa Ahead

Where do we go from here? That was the question in Jac’s mind as he was working the finishing touches for the release of Seditiosa. That question is, still, roaming in his head now, when he is busy getting 69 Année Érotique for a November release and preparing to start shooting four films in the next few weeks. There’s a lot of work on 69 still, not production, of course, maybe a couple of shots, but rather a really complicated work in post production.

That film is in what can be described as a first cut, better than a rough cut, but not quite a final cut. But the movie is all there, all 2 hours plus of it, the entire story with everything. Beto saw that cut and he was so impressed that he can’t stop talking about it. It’s a weird film indeed.

But that’s not the only project brewing in Jac’s production house. There are a bunch of films in post. One of them, now in the post production stage is CruXtreme V – Playmates.

The Playmates and other films were shelved when our team embarked in the production of two huge feature films, the very complex 69 Année Érotique and the story of a female Christ and equally complex and far more costly, Seditiosa.

The female Jesus film took most of Jac’s attention last year, during the fundraising, script writing, producing, editing, all of it in less time that it would normally take to produce such a story that involved lots of people, far off locations, period costumes and props and more.

As Seditiosa went in production, 69 Année Érotique was also in production but it was shelved as well, for all the time it took to work on the shooting of the story of Yahel, the young, beautiful woman that wanted to write, read, heal people… and live in peace; but ended up sentenced to died on a cross.

69, the stream of consciousness type of film, where, the making of a film, as it was with Pygmalion before and this time it is Jekyll And Hyde‘s turn. The film, kind of a sequel to Pygmalion, goes into some intriguing and erotic in a truly sadistic way moments not found in the book. There are still some shots needed for that film and a lot of work in post production. The plan is to complete all that by the end of September and prepare its release in Europe and the US in November.

Now that those two time-consuming films are either released or getting ready for an international premiere, we can go back to the shelved movies, all four of them, where a lot happens to the two leading ladies, Dani and Mila.

The one going through post and to be released next is CruXtreme V – Playmates where Dani and Mila share the interest of Monsieur Jac for Xtremely sadistic good times of love on the beat, sex, lots of flogging and much torture, in that order.

We are also lining up a few films in Pre Production. Of those many movies, there are four about to be produced one after the other. Each centered in one of our courageous and committed actresses. These new films will be like a rehearsal for what is to come when the weather gets a bit better for our damsels in distress to be taken to a far off location where they will suffer the pains of nasty crucifixions. Each beautiful victim will star in her own nasty crucifixion story and each will experience a different style of crucifixion, one more painful than the other or the other way around. All of that in Roman times, of course, and the stories will be painfully linked.

But, for now, the suffering ladies are going through some very nasty rehearsals in preparation for the new productions.

Because of all the immersion of all senses, all the worries, all the attention to details that took to produce Seditiosa and 69, all the way from pre production through production and the post production of both films, Jac was somewhat saturated. It is not easy to produce two large films simultaneously.

However, we did precisely that a few times, one of those times we produced three large budget films, Maleficarum, Barbazul and Les Marquis de la Croix simultaneously. Jac directed Maleficarum, Amy directed Barbazul and Le Marquis. The difference is that Jac and Amy worked together in those films, sharing the responsibility of directing, producing and working in the post production. It was a little easier.

But for the new projects Jac had to deal with everything all by himself and it was very difficult. So, when the main production was over he took a break from that enormous back breaking efforts but without really stopping to work, just not as engaged as he normally is. That slowed down our output.

We’re returning to the hectic and filled schedule of days past, that includes producing many films, working our promotional work, and returning to a prominent role in social media, Patreon and the websites where we promote.

For some time our Patreon site was neglected, because of all the reasons above and more. We’re returning there with a blast. We’ll be showing the progress of the new films with exclusive clips from the rehearsals, the shooting of the new movies, clips from the past, and a full movie or two. In the up and coming post there we’ll have a never seen before clip of Dani Suffering The Rack during the pre production of Monxa Mala.

I’ll have more news pretty soon and very often.
