Thank you too DTX for supporting us and the movie and taking the time to write about it. Means so much!!!! I can try and answer some of your list of items below as best as I can:
*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***
1. I can understand you not 100% buying the Jim and Alice relationship. For me I wanted to show two different ways that men might react towards trying to win the lone female over. O'Byrne was the more aggressive and physical and Grey was the more emotional and respectful side. This to me was crucial in Alice deciding to go with Jim. The scene where I wanted her to say to herself "I am going to be with Jim" is when he breaks down and reveals his deepest secret to her. Something he never did to his family nor even Alex when he was a man. It was a moment where I felt Jim needed to expose himself and let Alice in. What's funny is that Jade - my producer - really wanted Jim and Alice to have sex in that one scene. But I felt like as a character - if Jim was legit and really cared for Alice - he would be more concerned for her safety than having sex with her. Which is the direction I ended up taking over my producer - who was a woman. LOL I'm a softy sometimes
2. I also understand your not wanting to deviate from the TG elements. But I needed to also keep the PLOT going and not just focus on only the character elements alone. It was important to me to keep up the tension of two men struggling with each other over the last female. Like watching the Discovery Channel of two males fighting over the lone female. It also helped stereotype how men look at women. So in a twisted way - I was also showing how much O'Byrne and Grey were stereotyping Alice based on her looks alone. Which in some way is also a part of that TG Theme.
3. I 100% agree with you. I too do not believe Alice or her offspring would really be able to build a stable gene pool. But like I mentioned in my previous post above - I am currently working on a comic sequel to the movie. The continuation of the story - which may hopefully shed more like on what is to come next
Heeheeheeheehee
*** SPOILERS END ***
Oh and if you haven't already - could you please please please rate and review the movie for us on iTunes?? It would mean a lot. We are somewhat getting bashed in what I sometimes feel is people getting worked up over the TG content (some reviews I've read seem very enraged and hateful). In the past I've actually had men send me death threats for saying "I'm a man hater" while women have praised my awareness towards stereotypes. Weird. So I guess this isn't much of a surprise. I have read some legit reviews of people just not liking the movie for various reasons (especially the low budget) - but I'm surprised at even that considering we are not a major release or big studio movie either. Oh well... can't please everyone
Cheers!!
