ACT ONE
EXT. LOS ANGELES – DAY

Gaston D’Agrivieri is an Argentine-Italian filmmaker on a creative journey fueled by his curiosity and deep love for cinema. Inspired by the works of Kubrick, Coppola, and Scorsese, and screenplays like Chinatown and Spotlight, he believes in learning by doing it with passion and precision. For Gaston, filmmaking is about turning a spark of creativity into a fire worth chasing with the tools and resources available at this very present moment.

“A true artist is gifted a spark of creativity… but it’s up to that individual to light a fire and go after their dreams.”

Ideas in the making

Here’s a glimpse at some ideas I don’t mind you looking at, while I reserve other concepts for development in private.

Feature Film  •⁩   THRILLER / HORROR

Spuki

WRITTEN BY GASTON D’AGRIVIERI
Spuki

Is a modern horror-thriller with a tech twist, blending the dark allure of true-crime hauntings with the sleek, high-pressure world of creative startups. When a small team at a boutique agency begins developing an AI-powered haunted tour app, what starts as a clever pitch turns into a chilling descent into something disturbingly real. As tarot cards foreshadow doom and viral videos hint at a deeper truth, one team member vanishes during app testing at the infamous Grimaldi Residence—leaving behind only blood, silence, and a single polaroid. Smart, suspenseful, and eerily grounded in the world of influencer culture and AI obsession, Spuki explores the thin line between exploiting fear and becoming its next victim.
