A lot has been happening even if Carnival<\/strong> was a terrible time for anything. Dani went to another city to act in an Add and couldn’t get tickets for the bus ride back, so she stayed a day longer, which meant that she couldn’t be in town for the scenes she was going to be in for 69 Ann\u00e9e \u00c9rotique<\/mark><\/strong>. And that was not the only problem during that fateful period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jac decided that it was awful timing for any production work, so he cancelled all shooting for the week, although he did shoot a couple of scenes where he only needed himself for a couple of monologues, one as Dr Jekyll and the other as Mr Hyde. So, for one night he was the Producer, Director, Dr Jekyll, Me Hyde, DP, Sound Person, Gaffer, Make-Up Artist, Wardrobe Person, Clapper, Curious Bystander, and anything else needed. I have to mention that he did have a Stand In to check the light, focus and so on, a nice Bottle of Vital Water, empty of course, taped to a tall candle holder, which was a prop in many movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bHe also got busy preparing the materials for the impending theatrical release of Pygmalion<\/mark><\/strong>. He took the trailer to the multiplex for testing, the image was not coming out the way it should, and after some fixing and more testing, it was the opinion of the techs at the cineplex that it was better for Jac to make a cinemascope version of the trailer and maybe even the entire film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Jac was back to work to come up with the scope version. The multiplex people also suggested to subtitle all the Spanish dialogues to English. That would attract more people to the film, they said. And it’s true. Most films made in Bolivia are shown in their original language, Spanish, without subtitles for English speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Jac did that too and the result is here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
