YOU can be a part of the most daring adaptation to date of the Marquis de Sade’s Justine!

Synopsis

Justine suffers at the hands of several nasty characters and situations in this new adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's novel.

Poor Justine falls victim to evildoers in her quest for virtue as one villain after another takes advantage of her innocence. She is accused of prostitution, publicly whipped, and then locked in the pillory. While waiting for judgement, Justine recounts the tale of how she arrived to her fate through countless acts of torture and abuse. The judge proclaims her sentence, and more mayhem ensues…

De Sade’s tale is a philosophical commentary on the depths of human nature, innocence, and belief without reason. It’s also super hot. We balance the art of filmmaking and great production values, with the scenes you want to see.

WHY WE NEED YOU & WHAT YOU GET

We are looking to raise at least $20,000 which will help fund:

  • Costumes and wigs 
  • Props for the Rack, Wheel, and Cross scenes
  • Locations (dungeon, colonial courtyard, banquet hall, outdoor location)

The funds will be applied to the period costumes we need to make this amazing film, props for the Rack, Wheel, and Cross scenes, and location rentals where we’ll shoot these amazing scenes!

If we don't reach our goal, rest assured every penny we receive will be spent on screen in production values or to feed and cover expenses of our hard working cast and crew. Even if we have to cut a few corners, this film will be made!

If we go over our goal, we will spend more on production values (production design, costume, lighting), pay wages to cast and crew, and for marketing of the film at film festivals around the world.

In exchange for your contribution, we’re offering some unique perks!

The Perks:

• Download or DVD of the finished film, chock full of bonus extras!

• Signed copies of the script

• Signed copies of the book, Justine

• Dinner with Amy Hesketh in New York City

• A say in the content of some of the scenes…!

• Associate Producer Credit (plus tee-shirts & more!)

• A cult named after you (Executive Producer credit)

Did you mention a say in the content of some of the scenes?! Yes!

The Scene Perks Explained:

We have three scenes planned for the film that involve these props: The Rack, The Wheel, and The Cross.

The Rack

A scene in which Justine, and then his lovely daughter (played by Mila Joya), is stretched on a rack by the evil Ronin!

The Wheel

A scene in which Justine is strapped to a giant wagon wheel, and whipped mercilessly, along with other tortures!

The Cross

A scene in which the evil Ronin publicly crucifies his long-suffering daughter Rosalie, Justine, and another unfortunate lady in an elaborate Passion Play straight from his demented mind!

We need $2000 in order to build each prop, and shoot the scene. We have four perks of $500 (adding up to $2000) for each prop group. Once all four perks in a group are filled by funders, we can check off that scene to be included in the film! If you contribute to one of those scenes, you can offer suggestions for a specific action, or detail to be included in the scene!*

*Please keep suggestions within budget. 

Examples: Justine branded while on the rack. A shot from above the wagon wheel, while Justine is being tortured. Etcetera.

If you want King Kong to come crashing into the scene riding a helicopter and wearing lurex, we will not be able to accommodate you…

THE FILM IS IN GOOD HANDS:

We’re extremely pleased to have Amy Hesketh star as Justine in this exciting new film directed by Jac Avila! If you thought Maleficarum was strong, wait until you see Justine! When we say that this will the ultimate adaptation of de Sade’s novel, we mean it! This film will be the bottom line in Sadism!

If you know the films we at Pachamama Films produce, you’ll love this one. Each film we make surpasses the next in production values, acting, and the controversial scenes that are the backbone of our work. Justine is no exception, and goes far beyond what we’ve done before. Pachamama Films has been producing quality feature films and documentaries since 1992. We know what you want to see and we don't censor. 

Director Jac Avila has worked side by side with Amy Hesketh to create several fantastic films. We’ll be ensuring that we have the best locations and actors, and that each scene will crazier than the next!

Miguel Inti Canedo has received high praise for his cinematography in 5 feature films, countless shorts, and advertising. From a candlelit room to a huge crowd scene, he adds cinematic flair to anything he does. For this movie he'll be using the latest in digital cinema cameras.
