If there is someone out there who has a large swath of The Making of Olalla bts, please do the human race a favor and post them all here. Thank you.



From thematic, narrative, and aesthetic perspectives, in my humble opinion, neither Amy Hesketh nor Pachamama ever topped Olalla's death scene in Olalla.

Heck, I would honestly rate it among the 10 Best GIMP Death Scenes of all time, that's how great it is.

Thank you for the accolades. Olalla is the film that made Amy go higher in the outside world. The film participated in the Feratum Film Festival in Mexico, some people in the audience were so impressed that had to have Amy design the film program at a University. The reasons were many, but the fact that a film like that could be made for 10,000 was one of them, another reason, of course, was the amazing acting that brought to life the strange characters Amy created in the script and then there's the story.

Olalla marked 10 years of work in film for Amy. Back in 2005 she was visiting Bolivia with an Irish friend who responded to a casting call Jac put out for a NatGeo project. Jac liked the Irish guy and Amy. They both participated in the movie. They were about to go on their way to Chile when Jac told them that his film Martyr was at a festival in Oruro. They went to see it. Amy loved the film so much that decided to stay with Jac. Thus they began to work together. They made all those RFPIX movies like Agent X. In 2008 Amy gave Jac her script for Sirwiñakuy, he loved it, and thus Amy started to direct films as well. In 2015, after so many films, Amy was back in the festival in Oruro but this time with her film Olalla. Martyr changed her life, and 10 years later Olalla changed her life again.

I'll prepare a little post with the making of Olalla and some nice pictures from our huge archive.

Double Cross

DoubleCross_00100201-1024x576.jpg

Veronique, aka Gabrielle, arrived to La Paz to play the lead role in Sirwiñakuy, Amy’s directorial debut. This was back in 2008.

Amy saw Martyr a few years before at a festival and was so impressed with Jac’s film that she decided to change her life right there and then to join Jac in his filmmaking adventure.

Amy was fascinated with Carmen’s role in it, for sure, but she was also moved by Veronique and the sexual tension she had with Jac in that movie.

You can read Amy’s comments on Martyr here:


For her debut film, Amy wanted to have Veronique play the leading female role of Anouk, a young French woman who meets an older Bolivian man, Jac, and moves in with him that very day, without even knowing his name, to begin an s&m relationship that gets tougher and tougher until…

Amy was very nervous at the airport, waiting for Vero to arrive. She didn’t know what would happen during that first encounter. It went surprisingly great.

Once settled, Amy, Vero and Jac spent a few days discussing the film, taking some pictures and at one point they decided to play a little in the set Jac and Amy were in the middle of getting ready for Agent X. It was not finished, but it was good enough to improvise something.

Jac’s idea was to get Amy and Vero to feel comfortable with each other. Amy was going to demand a lot from her leading actress and she didn’t know how to approach her yet, the two were getting to know each other, Amy was is awe of Vero and Vero was not aware of that.

Off the trio went, cameras rolling, playing a little game where Vero and Amy were at the hands of Jac, who wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do with the two beautiful women who he were truly his muses. Jac began to play a game of guessing. The women didn’t know what he had in mind for them, they were going to find out.

DoubleCross_00061223-1024x576.jpg

Jac was not planning to release this film because it is not like the others, it’s not bloody, it’s more contemplative, descriptive of Jac’s musing on the task at hand, a study of Amy and Vero sharing a estrange moment waiting for the pain.

Although the experience was meant to get Amy and Vero comfortable enough with each other to work in Sirwiñakuy, it did more, it stablished the sense of total trust between all the participants to jump into making a bunch of films. Amy directed Vero in Sirwiñakuy and Barbazul. And they worked together in Specter of Blood Castle and Dead But Dreaming.

The naughty game the threesome played back then, is now ready for Amy’s and Vero’s fans.

I'm making clips with the best scenes of "Malleus", so I watched the entire movie. Amy did an outstanding performance (she only forgot to don't shave armpits -:).
And the movie was the best ever. I wonder why J. Avila did'nt try to do once again such a movie ?

Right after the shooting of Maleficarum was finished, we used the same location for a new film, Le Marquis de la Croix, directed by Amy and with Jac and Mila in the leading roles. Amy has a role in it as well. And that was after Amy directed Barbazul just a couple of months before. Then Jac directed Dead But Dreaming, where Amy suffers quite a lot, Amy directed Olalla, where she's burned tied to a cross, and Pygmalion, based on the Shaw play, and Jac took the director's chair for Justine, the De Sade story we all love, using the same set as Maleficarum and Le Marquis. The set was used again for The Passion of Isabel, with Bea, who had a great role in Justine. Sometime later Jac directed Monxa Mala with Mila and other new actresses, Dani and Simonne amongst them.

After that there were more films with Dani and Mila and now we're about to produce two more big films, one of them Seditiosa, a female Christ story. and after that Jac is planning a third Inquisition film, Maleficarum Excruciati, which will be very much in the line of the first Maleficarum. What I can say is that all the films I mention are really, really amazing. But I don't think Jac would do the same Maleficarum again.

@Margot.Hmm interesting. :)
 
Queen Margot, I apologize, it was not a criticism.
What I meant, in Maleficarum, you had an excellent script, a real story, well played by a lot of "minor" actors. The lighting of the film's scenes was excellent.
I understand it's difficult to do twice the same movie. Special effects can be too expensive, we know that too.
May be could you try something new, back to a more complete story (I was a bit disappointed with Monxa Mala), more actors, different locations ?
May I suggest too new kind of "light" tortures , breast hanging, pliers, breastpress, wax, vaginal pear ? (you have a vaginal pear in a mainstream movie, "the reckoning" !!!)
