News are filtering out from the Red Feline Team Front and it sounds good. Jac tested NEGATIVE to Covid, so did three of the members living closer to him in the big palazzo. It means that the virus is not circulating around like they feared. Jac was convinced he was going to be positive. Erix is positive and they had lunch many times before he began to show symptoms.
That’s good news. It’s also good to hear that Jac’s 93 year old aunt, who tested positive, shows no symptoms. His brother, who also tested positive, is doing fine. So is Erix. But they are not in contact with each other or with Jac, at least for another week.
If all goes well, the naughty three will get back into the set next week to continue tormenting Dani, for at least one more week, and after that all the torture instruments available will be used to take Mila to the greatest heights of pain.
While eagerly waiting to return to the set and play naughty with his courageous team, Jac keeps on working with CruXtreme IV with the intention of having it ready by the end of the month. But that’s not all, he’s also working on two scripts, almost simultaneously, 69 Année Érotique and La Femme De Chambre. Both films are going to be produced with a larger audience in mind. Although La Femme is more in line with films like Le Marquis, it might end up having a limited theatrical release. 69 Année Érotique is going to be released to movie houses.
Not only Jac is eXtremely busy these, I too have a lot of work. I’m working on our Red Feline site. As you might remember I was in the middle of replacing all of my posts which were basically gone when we moved to the new hosting plan, and somehow we ran into some problem which forced me to start all over again. I’m all the way back to November 2019 and it’s really interesting to see how things were back then. At that time we were not even close to guessing what was coming our way.
Last Thursday February 17th, Dani was put to intense shocking torture for the last time in this film. Dani shook in pain suspended at the post of woes by her wrists, her feet dangling above the ground, her body convulsing as the masked woman turned the switch on and off, keeping it on for longer times. Did Honey Trap confessed, did she say anything at all?
When they began torturing Dani, Jac was not sure if he was going to need another day to complete the scene. It turned out that by the end of the shoot he had all he needed and call it a wrap. However, there’s one scene, the one that opens the film, a very simple scene, no torture involved, different set, and he might or might not need it.
When they were done, they shared a moment with some rum and chips, Dani’s favorite, and ended the day with the agreement that they would meet the next day, maybe to shoot something if it was needed, or just to talk.
But something happened during that afternoon and maybe during the last three or four days of shooting. It’s not clear to me, but it reached a boiling point in Jac’s head the minute Dani and Mila left the house. It must’ve been something terrible for Jac to cancel the next day’s meeting and go off for the rest of the night.
Whatever the situation is or was or will be, one thing is clear, Agent Honey Trap is finally in the can, except for that scene that might or might not happen, of course.
The last scene sets the story for the next movie, Deep Cover Mole. The threesome will get together next Wednesday to discuss the new film, test a couple of Jac’s ideas and decide if they will shoot the little scene still needed for Agent Honey Trap. If that’s the case, then they will prepare the set for that one scene and probably shoot it the next day. Regardless, because the coming week is carnival and there will be a bunch of events happening, Jac doesn’t expect to be doing any serious work, other than editing and writing, until the week after that.
I will definitely have more news concerning this film, the next one, the one before and so on. I don’t know if I’ll ever know what the big drama in Jac’s psyche is, but I’ll know how big the drama is when the consequences of that situation become clear to me.
Meanwhile, we have a Big Carnival 2022 Going and it will end in about a week.
Jac is advancing fairly fast on the first cut of CruXtreme IV – Roommate II, this weekend he got all the way to the 80 minute mark with still a lot to cut for the last scene of the film. His goal is to release this film in a couple of weeks. I cannot predict when it will be ready but I can guess based on the information I have.
It will take him at least until the end of this week to complete the first cut of the entire film. Then he’ll go into the final cut and sound work which might take him all of the week later. It means that he’ll be working on the film for at least two more weeks. So, my guess is that CruXtreme IV – Roommate II will be in our stores sometime before mid March.
Mila is looking great in it and the film is a very sadistic work of performance art.
I say this because all the films in the two person cast and crew collection plus a couple of others, like Le marquis De La Croix fall into this category.
In fact it was one of the critics that labeled that particular movie with that term.
Hesketh’s approach reimagines film acting as a form of performance art and is blessed by an exceptional cast in realizing this.
As the Marquis, Jac Avila himself clearly takes pride in his handiwork and, thus, convinces us that he does, indeed, “delight in what (he) is addicted” to. He “removes the veils of modesty”, relishing his role for what it offers.
As his performance partner, Hesketh discovery Mila Joya, a sultry Hispanic with luxurious hair, is subjected to all manner of cruelties, both psychological and physical. Her eyes “beg for more” with supplicant silence, even as she bellows with blood-curdling, agonized screams before being broken.
My effectiveness in communicating our work is sometimes put in doubt when I get some private messages like the one I got yesterday.
: May I aks about CruXtreme III – The Callback. Is there crucifixion scene?
The entire movie is about a crucifixion, all of the CruXtreme movies are about crucifixions in different and creative ways.
In CruXtreme III our dear Dani is nailed hands and feet after a lot of torture that includes a cruel and very graphic impaling.
I find it amusing that after all the pictures I posted over the years, I get questions like that.
I suggest you visit our site and take a look at all the movies and what they have. The link below has some information about CruXtreme III:
Agent Honey Trap is done and the threesome got together last Wednesday to discuss the next project. They tried some of the positions designed for Mila in the production of Deep Cover Mole. It was only a test of the things Jac has planned and it did not involved camera and light testing, that will happen next week, probably on Monday. The production of the new film will begin Wednesday.
Agent Honey Trap was very hard on Dani who had to suffer so many indignities and so much torture. A lot of it very painful and all of it intensely harsh. But it is over now and she’s looking forward to help torture Mila; however, she will not be a character in the film, she will assist Jac off camera.
Jac is a bit more relaxed now as far as the work is concerned, but he is suffering of acute anxiety attacks because he’s watching his bday double attempting to destroy the world. He calls him Pooto Pootin. Yes, Jac and the Fuck You Russian Freak share the same birthday, October 7. (And Me Too!)
The funny thing is that Jac is writing a script where a character goes crazy Hyde. Just like Puto Putin.
The parallels with the roaring 20’s of the 20th century are pretty scary. A deadly pandemic, a world war, and…
But going back to the work, Jac has a bunch of films in his mind. 7 of them in Post Production, 1 of them about to be produced, 5 movies and 2 TV series in development, he’s working in five scripts. That’s a lot of work ahead!
Of the 7 films in post production, one of them, CruXtreme IV – Roommate II, is in its final cut. Jac hopes to finish it in the next few days. My bet, again, is that it will be released by the end of next week.
Ranger1951nardnob said: Margot, can you possibly throw us a bone in that sale, perhaps sometime the next couple weeks?
Suspect I speak for more than just myself when I say I’ve purchased the whole catalog!
Tell Jack to release that ‘7 Days on the Cross, Directors Cut’ cuz the Crux Forums Gang is DYIN’ to buy it TODAY!!! Suggest that he replace that messed-up audio with a spooky funeral dirge if he’s still having problems with it, but INSIST that whatever he needs to do, he GETS’ER DONE in the next week or two!!! Creative types get distracted easily, I know cuz I’m one, and we sometimes need a good old-fashioned (but empathetically good-natured, cuz were all insecure prima-freakin’ donnas) kick in the pants to get moving!
In the spirit of friendly encouragement, I know you all are working under extraordinary circumstances…
Bravo ‘nardnob’, I’ve been trying for YEARS! to spur action from Red Feline (or what ever they are this week) to edit, fine tune – WHATEVER – just release these eagerly awaited productions from long ago. I am naturally an optimistic bloke but, despite reassuring (‘Reply’) correspondence with Margot (some years ago now) via this Crux Forums medium, my faith about RF EVER releasing these treasures, also died long ago! Good luck!
One of the films in the post production timeline is 7 Days On The Cross – the director’s cut which includes the anxiously awaited impaling scene. Jac is planning to concentrate on that one first, before the next new movie, and get it out there, finally. I hope for all of your sakes that he does.
That will leave him with 5 films in post, including the latest, Agent Honey Trap.
After the shooting of the last scenes of that film, the famous threesome sat to eat some chips and drink some rum. It was a quiet time after all that lashing, torturing, shocking, bleeding and all that jazz.
Another big activity in Jac’s plate is the watching of ALL of the Oscar nominated movies with his son, Erix, who then writes reviews and publishes them in some mags and in his podcast.
They recently watched Don’t Look UP, which, according to Jac, is a parody of our times. Replace the comet with the pandemic and WWIII and it becomes incredibly scary. It is a scary comedy of sorts and that’s why it will not win the best picture award and that’s also the reason for all of the bad vibes is getting from some audiences. You can watch the podcast here:
It's a lot of fun.
Carnival is going to get heavy this weekend and it will end next weekend, officially, at least in Bolivia. This Saturday is the big event in Oruro and next Sunday the big event in Cochabamba.
And a whole week of lot’s of drinking, partying, scaring dogs and birds with fireworks and setting up of the fifth wave of the virus. All brought to you by Cerveza Paceña and other highly advertised products.
And, with that, our Carnival Sale will end, coinciding with the release of the new film CruXtreme IV – Roommate II. It will take a while before we have a new sale.
Watch this, it's fun:
A final note. Jac is playing with an idea. One of the scripts he’s writing is Maleficarum Excruciati, and he wants that film to be huge, in terms of production values. One idea bouncing off the walls in his brain is to begin the process of building the props but he needs money for that, so… ehem… he was discussing the possibility to raise those funds in a very interesting way.
Each of those torture props, like The Judas Cradle, The Spiky Chair, The New and most awful RACK would be constructed with a specific campaign for each and hear this… once built, each of those props would have its own little movie!
It will be made as a test with one of the actresses… or maybe with two… or even three and those little movies will be give to those who contributed to its construction and no one else. That will shave off some of the expenses of that very expensive production.
I though… hmmm… crazy… but… doable? Can he raise the cost of each of those nasty instruments? One at a time?
There’s a saying in Spanish, Recta Final, which can be translated as The Last Stretch. That’s where Jac is with CruXtreme IV – Roommate II. I’m told that he might be finishing the final cut of the film TODAY. (March 1st, 2022)
If that’s the case, then he’ll be doing the sound mix, color corrections, processing of assets in the next few days and the film will be ready to be uploaded to our store by the end of the week!
That’s good news. Jan needs to get on the next editing job, preproduction of future films and the production of a new film!
I also got word that tomorrow, Wednesday March 2nd of the year of our crucified lady 2022 will be the first day of production for Deep Cover Mole, the follow up film to Agent Honey Trap. In this new film Mila will suffer the extreme treatment Jac is designing for her, beginning with a nasty flogging and torture while she is suspended from her wrists, all naked, of course. The first of many tortures will take three days to shoot. Three days where Mila’s back will suffer a number of nasty torments.
I’m going backwards and now I’m completing May 2017. It’s interesting to see how things changed during that month.
JUSTINE was having a theatrical run, Dani saw the movie at the Cinemateca and decided to contact Jac because she wanted to be part of his adventures in naughty cinema. Jac was editing The Passion of Isabel and thinking of making Maleficarum II and maybe Cage. It’s very interesting. You can check it out here:
Carnival is in full swing, today, Tuesday, is dia de Challa in Bolivia, that’s when people put serpentine, balloons and light fire crackers to bless their homes and things. They also pour some alcohol for the Pachamama, (mother earth in Aymara), drink a lot and scare all living creatures like dogs, cats, pigeons and so on and so forth. The sounds in the street are like the sounds of war. But it’s all for fun.
Jac can’t walk the dog today because of all those fire crackers making all that terrifying noise. Then there’s the water balloons. People play with water, throwing water balloons at whomever they feel like and that can be annoying. So, instead of joining the sick fun, Jac is working on CruXtreme IV, putting everything aside to complete it now.
And as Carnival advances the end of our Carnival Sale nears. I’m totally sure that when Jac sets up the film in the store sometime this weekend, he’ll take out the Sale, so… take advantage of it while it lasts!
Devil girls dancing in Oruro
And that’s all for now! More news, lots of news, soon!
The new film, CruXtreme IV – Roommate II is going through the sound mix and color correction. If all goes well the mastering of the film will be made before the end of the day, today is Saturday 5th, 2022. It means that tomorrow Jac will be busy preparing the assets for the store, uploading them and setting up so, the film will be released anytime between tomorrow night and Monday.
This week, which is now ending, was going to be dedicated, partly, to the beginning of the new production; however, Mila was going through what she calls a satanic period that started on Wednesday and lasts for a few days, so she wasn’t really in the proper condition to begin a new film. So, the shooting of Deep Cover Mole will begin next week.
Jac used the extra time in his hands to push through the final cut of the film which he finished Thursday and began to prepare the tracks for the sound mix… which is what he’s presently doing.
In addition to the sound mix and color correction, Jac will be working on the many parts of a release, like the key art, the mastering of the film, which takes hours and hours of computer time, the DVD in its NTSC and Pal versions, as well as the HD. He will also be working on a trailer and VidCaps to promote the film. My estimation is that tomorrow Jac will begin uploading the assets to the stores, and when the first version of the film goes live in the store, he will take out the Carnival Sale.
That’s it for now. I’ll have more news soon.
Take advantage of the last day or two of our big Carnival Sale!
Our dear friend Frog posted at the GIMP forum a great composite work using a picture of Amy. He called it Amy meets the Taliban. It generated a few interesting comments, one asking Which Amy? It went like this:
frog: Amy meets the Taliban
(Really miss her.)
wulf: Which Amy is that, and has something happened to her?
frog:Amy Hesketh, of Agent X, Maleficarum, Dead but Dreaming, etc. fame. She was a major force behind this forum and saved the GIMP once, much as Reine Margot has done more recently. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q … IS15ibqymU
petelobo:Yeah, she put her clothes on and moved to the other side of the camera. Great for her, but a loss of us. As a GIMP, she was strong and generally quite emotive. She brought us Mila and maybe indirectly Dani. Quite a legacy.
Well, since I’m waiting for news from Jac, who is mastering CruXtreme IV and it is taking many, many hours of processing time, I decide to respond to those comments and make a nice post as well.
Nice work Frog!
Amy is doing great, I remember in January 2017, when Jac and Bea began shooting The Passion of Isabel, someone asked “Is Bea replacing Amy?”
I was a bit surprised but not that much, that was the impression people were getting so I wrote a lot about it, one article in particular was:
From The Subversive Submissions of Amy Hesketh to The Challenging Submission of Bea for the sake of weird and wonderful Cinema!
Lasher (January 2017): Greetings All, ?? What has happened to AMY?? I must have missed something here! I read where Jac has her tools and will try building sets from memory! I guess when remembering the Red Feline movies with Amy the “sets” did not require a whole lot of building!
Amy is well, healthy and happy, but she’s in the US for some time with a lot of work and academic pursuits. Jac has the tools she uses to build props like the Spanish Horse and The Rack in Maleficarum. Jac will attempt to build his own version of the Spanish Horse. I had early word that it might involve spikes, it just might. He has the tools and all the materials used before. Bea and Jac discussed the possibility of having Isabel going through that particular torture, I also heard that Bea might want it to be somewhat worse than before. The problem is that they can’t go crazy and use all the tortures available to Torquemada, that would be overkill, so they have to choose and choose wisely. They might submit some of those choices to a vote in the Red Feline Club
Amy suffering torture on the Spanish Horse she built from scratch
I went on to say that Amy is now promoting her new film, Rucker, shot in the US, with none other than Corey Taylor, of Slipknot fame in the cast.
We are preparing the theatrical release in Bolivia of Amy’s two most recent films, Rucker and Pygmalion, in the next few months. These films will also see the the light of the projectors in the US in September of this year.
One comment made me think:
petelobo: She brought us Mila and maybe indirectly Dani. Quite a legacy.
It‘s more like one inspired the other. I don’t know if Jac showed Camille the clips we made as a video taped sketches for The Passion of Maricelli, a film Jac wanted to make but never did. In any case, the work he did with Camille in the early days was for that movie. In a way, I can say that I inspired Camille.
Camille and I (on the phone) in a scene in The Man On The Moon
Camille inspired her sister Gabrielle as well as Amy. Because of Camille, Gabrielle decided to join Jac in his adventure of torture and suffering and when Amy saw Martyr at a film festival, decided to join Jac in the same adventure. Mila was Jac’s find, but interestingly enough, Mila’s sister visited the set of Sirwiñakuy because she was friends with the make-up woman. That film was released the year Mila and Jac met and they met because of Amy.
Mila was the receptionist at the clinic where Amy was having some work done on her back. Jac spent the time Amy was in treatment reading… get this, JUSTINE! Mila asked what he was reading, he mentioned De Sade. She then asked, What do you do?. He said movies. He mentioned the one about to be premiered at theaters, Sirwiñakuy. She said: Oh, my sister knows you and then the magic phrase, I’d like to work in films. I think the entire city of La Paz could hear Jac’s heartbeat when he said: Come over for a test.
When Barbazul was released it became Bea’s favortite movie ever, she has the original poster with Jac in it, as the central figure, over her bed, she looked for a way to find him and she did. She wanted to be part of the movies… and soon after they met she was in Olalla, later in Pygmalion, then Justine and finally in The Passion of Isabel.
Dani saw Justine at the Cinemateca and contacted Jac right away. It would be an honor to work with you, she said… and now she has a bunch of films under her belt. She loved Mila in the film.
And then there’s Katherine, who when arrived to do her casting for Monxa Mala, saw the poster of Sirwiñakuy on Jac’s wall and told him: I was so happy I turned 18 when this film came out, so I could go see it! The film was rated R, which in Bolivia is 18+.
Amy’s legacy in the world of GIMP is the so many movies she made, both as an actress and director. She’s not done. There’s more to come from her. I can also say that just as it happened before, when Camille quit, or when Amy left, there was someone, somewhere, on her way to meet Jac.
This is a Tale of Two Movies, the one that began today, Wednesday March 9, 2022 and the one that has completed the entire process for its release an hour before the shooting of the new movie began.
The One That Begins is Deep Cover Mole, a follow up to Agent Honey Trap, this time with Mila in the unique role of the Girl In Merciless Peril and merciless it is.
The opening scene began today and will continue on Friday, it’s going to be a fun ride for Mila who said my character will not cry out in pain, she will resist, she is, after all, an expert in causing the outmost pain and one is led to believe that she has been trained in the arts of resisting pain at all costs, but, will she? Will she be able to go under the most terrific tortures, some she didn’t even use in her long career as The Ghost?
Mila was a bit nervous before the camera started rolling. She had fun during the shooting of the previous film, all the attention and the pain was on Dani who suffered and suffered and then suffered some more at the hands of both, Mila and Jac.
But now Mila is going to be alone in her suffering, while Jac showed, right away, in word and in action, that he had plans to have a lot of fun torturing her. And so it began. They entered from the back of the set and Jac proceeded to strangle her with his arm until she fainted.
Dani was behind the camera, moving it a bit as Jac instructed, to follow the action. The camera was on the crane, so a nice and subtle movement from side to side or up and down or nearer and farther was possible as Jac began to strip Mila of her white shirt and bra, very slowly, carefully, enjoying himself as much as his character would. Mila was held against the post by a chain around her neck. Dani was impressed with what was happening in front of her, maybe a bit jealous that it wasn’t her who was at the center of the Red Tie Man’s attention.
And that’s how it began. The opening shots were repeated a number of times, a number of times where Jac strangled Mila and then began to strip her, making her react and poking fun at her as she tried to struggle.
This was the very first day of the new film and the images look gorgeous, which is not a surprise to me, and Mila’s acting is what Jac expected and maybe even dreamt about from the moment he thought of the film.
He has been depressed lately. There were some nice family gatherings that made him feel good, but the world is full of bad news and that’s depressing. Today was a bit different. A little after lunch he was testing the first DVD, the NTSC version of CruXtreme IV – Roommate II.
He had been working on both DVD versions in the morning, after three days of intense work with the Sound Mixing, Color Correcting, Mastering and creating the assets for the two versions of the DVD. Mastering alone took 14 hrs or more of processing time. But it’s finally done! He’ll be uploading the film to the store tomorrow (Thursday March 10) and it will go on sale before the day is over.
And, while he uploads and sets things up to begin selling the new film, he’ll take out the sale. Now, there’s a catch. He might or might not complete the uploading before noon.
At noon he has a lunch invitation with friends and family, which happens to take a bit of time when it happens, like 4 hrs or so, he will be back home by 4, because if he doesn’t, his cats, who expect to be fed at that time, as well as his pigeons, will be very mad at him and will give him bad looks. So, if he didn’t finish uploading and setting up the film in the store, he will do it then and it might take an hour or so, maybe more, who knows.
In other words, The Big Carnival Sale will be off!
So, you might as well take advantage of it NOW! Before it’s too late.
It was a long road for this movie, really long, but finally is out in the world and before I said anything here or anywhere people began to buy it. I guess people were paying attention.
The PAL version of the film was not even officially in the store when Jac went to bed after a production meeting with Dani and Erix. More of that later.
He woke up this morning to find that the PAL version of CruXtreme IV already sold to people in Europe, and early morning, today, to people in the US. It’s looking nice.
