Demiurge.
World creator.
Screenwriter.
I am Gabriele Bragotto, and I am an Italian who lives in Italy.
If this was a videogame, I would be a main class screenwriter, subclass worldbuilder.
At the beginning of 2023 I co-wrote with Italian tv author Marco Posani the pilot to a comedy series based on his book “Il mistico confuso” (the bewildered mystic). The script has been pitched to several Italian production houses and is still circulating among several actors’ managers.
I am a Jill Chamberlain’s disciple, and that means that when I am attending her class, I have to get up at 2 am (until 4.30 am, once a week) and then do my 9-5 job like I actually slept that night.
My aim is to work on projects with supernatural elements, be it Lovecraftian or Disney-esque, where I can play around a bit with archetypes, and with the potential to become an IP and spawn several other projects in different media. And I feel the worlds I build for my stories to take place in have this potential.
The Sleepless - The Whisperer in Darkness Horror After an accident on an oil platform, a group of corporate executives has to stop a cult from opening a passage between dimensions allowing a great old one to drive humankind insane and destroy the world as they know it.
For the Greater Good - Fear His Emissaries Drama After a narrow escape from a coup d'état, an apathetic pope decides to retaliate and destroy a warmongering Vatican before he gets killed.
The Greatest Show Reborn - Something Wicked has Arrived Fantasy A young girl runs away to a supernatural circus, unaware that she possesses talents and that another dangerous ringleader is looking to poach her himself.
