The work inside HQ, mainly the panting of walls, is over.

We&#8217;ll be working for a theatrical release in at least 5 cities. Another film that will be released theatrically is <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Rucker<\/mark><\/strong>, possibly in December or January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During their conversation Jac told Amy that <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">Sometimes doing physical work helps the brain cells when they clogged up because of too much thinking.

He&#8217;ll have a big meeting with the three leading ladies of the two up and coming productions, they will try out the clothes they will wear in one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s also working on the Pitch Video to begin the campaign to raise the funds for <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Seditiosa<\/mark><\/strong>, a movie that the more we talk about, the more intense and demanding it becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a picture of a painting that Jac saw in FB that made him think of the clothing design for the Female Christ and her followers&#8230; all women.

Set it on the ground and then secure it, and if it&#8217;s not done correctly, the cross might fall causing massive injuries to the actress. We don&#8217;t want that. The cross has to be set on the ground securely, sealed correctly, no room for accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s the burning on a cross scene in <strong>Olalla<\/strong>, and to do that we took a great looking cross to the location. It was made of very good wood, it had to look like a cross already built in some place near Olalla&#8217;s villa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were going to set it up when the owner of the location saw it, and offered to set it up in front of the chapel. He had a worker dig a hole, build a base with rocks, put the cross in the hole, and poured cement on it. The cross remains there now, forever, the towns folks go pray in front of it during religious celebrations.
