NEW Stormy Tempest: Fight for the Future!

In the Cult Retro movie Nightveil: the Sorcerer's Eye. No matter how many times the Blue Bulleteer gets knocked down, she gets back up again and never quits. Even against incredible odds. Very heroic. Inner strength defines an Ubergirl.

Aliya is great. She may not be Ms. Victory, but she's an EXCELLENT Lacey Slater.

@lfan
I thought I had you at "zipping up white boots"!

If you were to ask me personally what "girl power" and "ubergirl-ism" is all about, I would say it's all about the ATTITUDE that ElF mentioned, rather than focusing on the powers and abilities. Maybe that's the source of our disconnect so far. ALL of our heroines (and the actresses that portray them) display attitude, moxy, courage, intelligence, perseverance and indominable will... therefore (to us) someone like the Blue Bulleteer qualifies as an "ubergirl" even though she can't pick anyone up with one arm. Despite being the underdog, I maintain that the Blue Bulleteer could find a way to kick Supergirl's ass.

At any rate, with Lacey you'll finally get the attitude AND the superpowers in the same package. And if this experiment works out, then we'll do it again!

I'm willing to take a closer look at the genre to tap into what you guys want to see, though I remain hopeful that I can also convince some of you to reconsider what makes a heroine "powerful" along the way. Exploring that theme is at the heart of Stormy Tempest Season 2 when viewed as one story. I think this will be even more apparent with this upcoming release.

Huh?!?! Say what?!?!? A "theme" in a fetish movie? And what's all this about a "plot"?!?! Are we making fetish movies? Shhh... Don't tell Bill Black's wife.

Blue Bulleteer, if she's anything like Batman, would no doubt kick the entire teams' ass. It happened in a JL story arc.

We are a very a specific crowd, so pleasing all of us is a Herculean feat. We have a very specific idea of what a powerful heroine is, and that is a physically powerful girl above and beyond human capabilities. Period.

Like I said. Watch the 70's Wonder Woman show and hit the nail on the head.

Aliya has a fun, spunky, youthful energy and she radiates cuteness. (She might actually make a pretty good Synn.) The character of Lacey Slater was written specifically for her, to play to her strengths. In the ideal world you could have any actress magically transform into a different personality, but in reality that rarely ever happens. Even multi-million dollar, highly-trained professional actresses often fail to pull it off. You will get better results if the character and the existing personality of the actress meshes to some degree.

Aliya has spirit and confidence, but she is someone you might easily underestimate, which we passed on to Lacey and is part of what makes her fun and unique... whereas Ms. Victory should be imposing the moment you see her.

Ms. Victory needs to be played by an actress with a strong presence, somewhat like Nicola Rae. You can't stand next to her in the Stormy Tempest outfit without getting the sense that she really could kick your ass if she decided to do it. That's not "acting" and it doesn't necessarily come from her height (though that helps)... it's just a certain undefinable "aura". Linda Carter certainly had it and she was only 5'9". Tall, but not extreme. She is Wonder Woman because of her presence and personality and the strength that she radiates.. not her height.

A sense of wisdom and experience would also be helpful. Joan Wayne is a GRANDMOTHER, a military leader and a veteran of several wars. This is what makes her unique and NOT Supergirl. She probably has more in common with Captain America. Obviously we aren't holding out for someone that fits this bill specifically, but we DO need someone that can convincingly give a command and compel you to listen. We need a young woman with "wisdom beyond her years".

If an actress has the presence but not the sense of experience, then I'd cast her as Jennifer Burke instead, while trying to "mold" her into Joan Wayne as we progressed through multiple films. We might start with Rad and work our way backwards to Ms. Victory for example... making both the actress and the character "earn it" in stages.

She must be unquestionably beautiful. People debate about whether or not they think Adrianne Palicki is attractive for example. Some find her too masculine, or don't think she has enough curves, or whatever. The fact that there is a debate at all makes her wrong for Wonder Woman. You don't look at Wonder Woman and DEBATE her attractiveness. Ms. Victory must be hot... classically beautiful... period.

Also she must be semi-local to Orlando. We do not want to make ONE Ms. Victory movie. We want to make several as we are doing with Stormy Tempest.

I have met actresses that are "unsure" about being a superheroine, and actresses that "can't wait" to be one. The former doesn't work out in the long run. She has to WANT to do it.

In terms of "product", we are WAY overthinking it. I'm sure that we could stick any reasonably hot blonde into Ms. Victory's tights and sell a successful product. But "artistically" it would not be satisfying and it would not BE Ms. Victory. The day may come when we decide to do that, or compromise to some degree just for the fun of finally making a Ms. Victory film. But for now there is no need for us to do that, so we do other things instead... always looking for Joan Wayne as we go along.

Until then we can use other characters and improve our skills behind the camera so that WE are ready when we finally meet her!

Who needs Ms. Victory when you've got Lacey Slater!

LOL! I purchased the newest release thinking that the above footage was part of it. Dammit! Still, I was fairly impressed with the production. Stormy is a hottie, too.

@jnw550

Please drop me an email if you'd like a refund. I do not want you to feel "stuck" with a film you didn't intent to purchase.

Not at all! I didn't say I didn't like it. Consider it a donation for more Lacey Slater!

Awesome! Thanks for your support!

Thanks for the side-boob!

Ok, I am new to this discussion topic.
I didnt't read all the reply above, because of my bad english.
So what can I say ?
...I find some interest in AC Comics movies. In what I've seen in the trailer or in the synopsis, I like the women, they are beautiful and sexy. Invulnerability... I like like it too !
But what I could understand in all what I've read is there is no feat of super strength.
However AC Comics got very good characters for that : I could read some word about MS VICTORY. I'm here to say that I wish you could make a movie featuring her. For my part, I'm looking for Super strong women showing their power in feat of strength action like car lifting etc... It's too rare on the web. We most see magical powers or demise. I prefer feat of strength.
So, what a little french fan could say ? Are you going to make such movie ? If this is the case, I subscribe immediately !

Thanks for you work.

@Artnico

To summarize...Our previous films have very few feats of strength and fail to appeal to the SWM crowd in general, but we are considering a series of "ubergirl" films for the future that may be more to your liking. Our next film (Stormy Tempest: Women of Tomorrow) will likely be the "origin" of this series and will feature lots of ubergirl special effects.

The question is: Will this approach prove popular and successful? Or will it crash and burn since there will be minimal "bondage" or "peril"? Based on the 4 pages of replies so far I can assume that it might be "popular"... though time will tell if it is "successful" and worth repeating.

Thanks for speaking up! All feedback is welcome!

Just to keep you guys in the loop, we're still hammering away at the mountain of FX shots for Stormy Tempest: Women of Tomorrow.

There are over 80 FX shots completed for Lacey's scenes so far. Another dozen or so to go I think. Not counting Stormy's FX shots, which are already done. This may set a new record for most FX shots in a single release for us. Overkill is our middle name!

A couple of people have asked about a few specific powers, wanting to know if they are used in the film... here are your answers.

Wow

Looks excellent. Keeping my eye on this one

This looks like it will be great! Will Stormy Tempest be performing similar feats(I hope!)?

P.S. ...and I think Nicole would make a great Yankee Girl!

P.S. ...and I think Nicole would make a great Yankee Girl!

Nicola Rae is pretty successful as Stormy at this point and we have many more Stormy Tempest stories left to tell (we need to give Stormy her rocketbelt eventually).

How do you feel about our new actress Jennifer Triest as Yankee Girl? We're currently considering her for the role. She's very charming and has a good "pinup girl" innocence that would be a good fit for YG. We'd love to hear some outside opinions on this. Here's a quick clip of Jenn in action.

Those previews are good and bad in same time. Good because we got a little taste that will come to us. And bad because makes me a little bit anxious for this day come asap. It´s such important to us and them a good support and feedback, to be a beginning, and not an end.

You can count with a costumer, keep working!!!

If you get Jennifer into a Yankee Girl costume then I would have to buy it. Simple as that.

Jennifer as Yankee Girl, okay I'm in!

Same here.

Your Superstrength / Superbreath preview looks very excellent and promissing... I'm waiting for the movie !
Thank you for listening to our request.

We just finished the last FX shot of Stormy Tempest: Women of Tomorrow. Here's what it looks like:



Now we are just finishing up the soundtrack and sound effects. The next images we post will be after the films release, which we hope will be later this week. It turns out that Lacey's final battle scene required 92 FX shots and there are 44 other FX shots throughout the rest of the film. 136 total. Insane!

If we can't push your ubergal buttons with this puppy, then we'll never be able to.

We usually post a blog entry about the films during the final rendering, so keep an eye out for that at www.accomics.com . Once that blog article appears, the film itself should be available at www.cultretro.com a few hours later.

Hope to see you there soon!
