I appreciate your work and have bought some of your films in the past, but not all of them. So I jumped at the opportunity offered by this initiative.
One of the films I hadn't seen was Seditiosa, and I must admit, I had my doubts. I'm a fan of Amy and always thought that without her, films would be less captivating. Instead, Seditiosa was a great and fantastic surprise. I think it's by far Jac's best direction, at least among the films I've seen. The story is well-told with an engaging dramatic development, thanks to a beautiful screenplay and carefully crafted characters. Of course, credit also goes to the actresses: beautiful and talented, capable of embodying authentic characters with whom it's impossible not to connect. The soundtrack isn't intrusive and repetitive like in other films. But the thing that most positively surprised me was the use of editing. Jac took the scissors and cut everything superfluous from his film, focusing only on the essential elements of what he intended to express. This makes the story compelling and the dramatic progression truly engaging.
There's so much to say about this and the other films (by the way: the shorts with Amy are wonderful), but that's for another time. I'd just like to add one thing. I truly appreciate the work you do. The movies can be more or less good, they can even have some flaws, but they are the fruit of your enthusiasm and commitment. They belong to you, the ones who make them and put passion into them: not to some industry. And that's a big deal, on these days.
One of Jac's films I'm missing is Martyr, and at this point I have huge expectations! I hope you'll add it to streaming soon.
