Pygmalion is a movie that was going to have a theatrical release in March of last year, but one week before the grand premiere, the country went into lockdown because of Covid 19. We're planning to release it early next year, theatrically, and it will have screenings in the US and Europe.

The script was written by Jac, about a filmmaker who wants to do his own version of Shaw's play, he intended to direct it, but before we began production both, Amy and Jac, agreed that Amy should direct it. Which she did.

One of the teasers that were shown in movie theaters, cable car stations, TV, and so on was this:

It's in Spanish. Amy is asked, "what's Pygmalion about?"

She responds "It's based on Bernards Shaw's Pygmalion, and it's what happens when your ex gives you a script glorifying himself and you turn it into a comedy"



It's a great movie and it will finally be out there.

Amy is also preparing the release of another new film she directed, Rucker

In both cases, these films are getting a totally different treatment.

Is there any actual trailer about this movie?

Is there any actual trailer about this movie?

We're working on new trailers because we're going to be opening in the US at the end of next year and in Bolivia at the beginning of the year, we don't have dates yet.

I do have this trailer that was running in Bolivia before the lockdown. We were announcing the release for the 26 of March, 2020, but everything closed down a couple of weeks before.

The trailer was made for Bolivian audiences, so it's in Spanish and English, but without subtitles. We're working on the international trailers.

Thanks!

It's hard to tell from the trailer why this is an Amy Hesketh movie. Do the training methods eventually become severe?

Pygmalion was written by Jac and directed by Amy, whose first film as director is Sirwiñakuy, a story of consensual s&m relationships

Amy's films as director are 'softer' than Jac's. Amy goes more for the gothic romance while Jac goes for the Barroque.

Although Barbazul is pretty violent, it's still more of a romance than, lets say, Justine

Pygmalion is based on the famous play of the same title, written by George Bernard Shaw and made into a movie many times, the most famous version is the musical My Fair Lady.

In Amy's version, the story is a film within a film within a film. It's a about a megalomaniacal film director who wants to create his own perfect Galatea and get over his ex by casting a female street violinist in his bizarre version of the famous play Pygmalion.

I see a lot of posts from Red Feline Pictures here.
But most of the time I don't notice the announcements for upcoming films.
RFP should announce this, as well as Miss Belle, for example, in the general section of the producers' corner.

Pygmalion: Tales Of A Premiere



The past days have gone full Pygmalion mode.

Amy arrived in La Paz on the 16th of March and just before her arrival and until the moment she left for the US on the 24th of the same month, all hands were on the theatrical release of Pygmalion, Amy’s 5th film as director.

Those incredibly short days were of high intensity, from the moment when Jac went up to the airport to pick up his partner, collaborator of so many years, to the moment when they said good bye with tears in their eyes.

The flight was On Time at 8 45 am … according to the Arrivals Board, but it was almost 9 am. Jac had been waiting for 20 minutes already, he arrived to the airport a bit early, he had a Capuccino with Croissant not long before. After what he considered a good breakfast, he waited, and waited until a message appeared in his phone, it was from Amy: After missing the first approach due to dogs on the runway, we finally landed here in La Paz.

Jac was very happy. Not too long after the message Amy was walking past the gates to an anxiously waiting Jac. Aaron, is behind Amy, not seen in the picture, only his big suitcase.



Soon after Amy arrived to La Paz she was going from press conference to press interviews, to television, to radio, promoting the theatrical release of her film.

She was back in the city where she lived 10 years, made film after film, as a sound recordist at first, an actress later with around 20 films, a producer, a Heskinator, a title given to her because of her abilities in building props, like a rack, making costumes, building crosses and because she’s very handy with all kinds of tools, she was soon a director and script writer, authoring five films… perhaps the most active and productive time for what became to be known as the Dynamic Duo of Amy and Jac.



During all the time Amy was in La Paz there was a mixture of excitement, anxiety, emotional turmoil and everything in between and beyond. It was many years since Amy and Jac shared the same city, the same house, the same room… It was also a time of a great reunion with the cast and crew of Pygmalion, after almost 8 years. Most of the team that made Amy’s film what it is, a great meta modern film, was at the premiere with family and friends. Unfortunately some were missing.

The great moment arrived, the Grand Premiere of Pygmalion at the Cinemateca, with a great number of guests. After the film was shown the cast and crew went up on stage and they all applauded Amy for her great film. People loved it!



What impressed the most during the first public screening of the film in the world, was Mila’s acting. Perhaps because so much time passed since the time Pygmalion was produced and edited, everyone had a fresh look at the film, even Amy, who commented to Jac Mila carries the film, she’s so good. Beto said It’s a great film and Mila is fantastic!

All the comments in the after party were in the same tone. Everyone loved the film and they were all impressed with the acting, specially Mila's.



The elusive theatrical release of Pygmalion was finally here. The first attempt to release it was way back in 2020, everything was all set. A press tour, sponsors, a date for Amy to travel to Bolivia. The release was scheduled for March 26 of that year. It was then that the first case of Covid 19 appeared in the US, and very near where Amy was living at that time. Suddenly, the US was in turmoil, people were told to stay home, no traveling at all. Amy was sorry she wasn’t going to make it to the release of her film.

Jac wanted to postpone it but some people in the team disagreed. Everything was in place and it would look bad on them if the release was cancelled, so the plans to release the film went on but the universe had other plans. Two weeks before the release date, Covid landed in the Andes and all movie houses closed.

Three years later Pygmalion is FINALLY in movie theaters, sharing the limelight with big Hollywood movies like Shazam and John Wick, whatever that is.



Everything went extremely fast during the short time Amy spent in La Paz. One day Amy and Jac were having pizza and beer, the next day Amy was flying back to the US, feeling sick, because all that excitement, tension, turmoil, lowered her defenses, not to mention the altitude and lack of oxygen.

But she was happy and planning to return but for longer time, maybe not ten years, but at least a month.

She took with her the great memories of having another film in the big screen, seeing the friends she has in La Paz adoring her, sharing those intense days with Jac.

For a moment there, it was as if she had never left, for both of them. They were talking, planning, laughing, disagreeing… as if those 8 years hadn’t transpired. But it happened and the extremely brief moment they had in the middle of March, 2023, was suddenly over.

They are both back in their world, with their work, their loved ones, the happy and sad moments they experience far away from each other.



They are back on their separate paths now, Amy preparing to go back to the university where she runs the film program and is a professor with tenure, and back to the preparations of a new film. Jac is back in the set of 69 Anneé Érotique as well as jumping in the quickly approaching production of Seditiosa.

Pygmalion is in theaters and it will be there for a short time, I expect, films don’t last a long time in multiplexes; however, Amy’s film will soon be released to the world in our many platforms, including our stores, Amazon, Vimeo and others. I’ll be announcing that gigantic universal event soon.

Erotica based on classic themes!!!!
I performed Pygmalion - well, My Fair Lady, in college... I was Eliza Doolittle, and there was always a sexual aspect to this story that is not well defined or even mentioned in the open.

There is so much erotica hidden behind the words of the world's classic literature!

Amazing! Thank you to all the writers, cast and crew for bringing this to life!
