Juan Gautier’s ‘The Aspirant,’ a Malaga Work in Progress Player, Acquired by Begin Again Films (EXCLUSIVE)
A psychological thriller about initiation into a masculine universe turns on pernicious hazing at a university residence
The film toplines Jorge Motos, star of 2021’s “Lucas,” a film which earned him a Málaga Silver Biznaga for best actor and a Goya best new actor nomination; Lucas Nabor (“All the Names of God”), Eduardo Rosa (“La casa de las flores”) and Catalina Sopelana (“Sky Rojo”) complete the main cast. Since 2008, siblings Juan and Andrea Gautier have been working on educational content from a gender perspective at their production house Smiz and Pixel. Looking for new talents, exciting and risky stories for new audiences, Begin Again’s titles have been selected and often awarded at festivals such as Rotterdam, the Berlinale, San Sebastián, Mar del Plata, Jeonju, HotDocs and New York.
