Just in time (José Arturo Mojica García) is the title of the most recent film of Christian inspiration, based on a biblical phrase: “It has perfect timing: it is never early and it is never late. God is never in a hurry, but he is always on time. We see in today's passages that the Lord is sovereign over the future.” (Daniel 4:32).
Supported by Caribbean Cinema Films and made in accordance with the facilities of the National Cone Law 108-02, managed by the General Directorate of Cinema (DGCINE), Justo a Tiempo is on the billboard awaiting its viewers, who will surely will attend his duties.
The action comedy has just inaugurated the Dominican film year, putting the first national project on screens, a fact that was previously almost an exclusive privilege of Roberto Ángel Salcedo.
Just in time It is a piece that has two highlights: its precious and impeccable photography and the music (in its various genres, in which evangelicals are ahead of Catholic artists), with exceptions such as Potters.
This project, which began filming in 2019, should have prevented its defects: the weakness of its performances and the disconnection of the narrative threads of its script, which is expressed in divorces in continuity.
Christian churches internationally have developed a film and music industry, with a highly perfected structure, clear in its objectives, including financial ones. But that level of perfection has not yet reached local film production. For the Dominican Republic, this development of cinema of faith is not yet homogeneous and makes progress and experiences setbacks.
The local Christian cinema
Dominican Christian cinema (speaking exclusively of evangelical cinema began in 2007) with the production Prisonermade by Producciones Miel of Iglesia de Cristo Ministerios Asociados Elim, produced by Fernando Ortiz, directed by Federico Segarra and Written by César Santil.
Later, in 2008 onwards, José García dared to film Camping, a piece of cinema with a decent script and made with the resources of a very, very independent cinema.
At the rhythm of Faith (April 2013) (José Gómez de Vargas) was the most advanced step in this trend by presenting a young, lively film, loaded with choreography and emotions and with a clear Christian message, surpassing the criteria developed so far.
Then Archie Lopez (2009) produces and directs, based on an idea by José GarcíaChristian of the Secret (2009), starring Raymond Pozo, supported by the strict codes of industrial cinema and professional standards and equipment, raising the brand of this cinema, but without reaching the perfection that critics would aspire to, showing that making Christian cinema can give much better film results.
