    Jacobo Fe Gismera is a multi-award-winning writer and prolific fashion model who attended UCLA for graduate studies in Screenwriting & TV Writing. At age 19, he became the youngest Spanish author in the historical genre with the publication of a peplum novel, "Perfectus Imperator." At the same age, he began his modeling career, which includes hundreds of publications in over a dozen countries.

    A native of Spain with French citizenship as well, Jacobo is holder of an O-1 visa in the United States, granted to "aliens with extraordinary abilities in the arts." His historical and adventure dramedies have garnered over 60 international awards, including WeScreenplay, SRFA-Cannes or Script Summit; Quarterfinalist status in The Academy Nicholl Fellowship, Final Draft - Big Break, or Screencraft Fellowship; and Second-rounder status in Sundance Institute Development Track and Launch Pad Competition. Ranking in the Top 1% in Coverfly, he has participated in the Banijay Cannes Incubator and NALIP Emerging Content Creators, been a finalist for Lena Waithe's Hillman Lab and Roadmap x Husslup Competition, and been featured in Forbes and Variety.

    Jacobo's work ("AMBERGRIS", "HALSTED: BETWEEN PLEASURE & PAIN, "ACE", etc.) is focused on period scripts and biopics; combining exhaustive historical research with witty creativity and pursing the inclusion of ethics and supra-individual values in an effort to do screenwriting with a conscious. His screenplays are the result of an in-depth investigation of diverse areas like WWII Aviation, 19th-century Modern Surgery, Napoleonic Wars and Egyptology's rise, Military Strategy in Ancient Rome, Pre-colonial African History, or the Casino Golden Age and Infomercial Rush on the American East Coast during the '80s. Using an accurate and detailed historical frame together with a humorous or light-hearted tone, Jacobo builds charismatic and eccentric characters ahead of their time who, surrounded by a harsh environment, chase goals with a positive social impact. The purpose is to use the 7th Art, filmmaking, as a vehicle to transmit both ideas and ideals. Eager to explore the world to conduct research on-site and nourish his imagination, Jacobo has visited over 60 countries to this day.

    As a multifaceted student and emerging artist, Jacobo was awarded three National Artistic Scholarships in a row: the Faro Programme (2018), US-Spain Fulbright Singular National Award in Cinematic Arts (2018), and the Mutua Madrilenian Foundation Grant (2019) after simultaneously completing three study fields in Business Administration & Management (Degree), Law (Degree), plus Filmmaking (Minor) in five countries (Spain, Italy, India, Thailand, and the U.S.), between 2012 and 2018. Thereby, before moving to the United States, Jacobo had the opportunity to complete a real-life education in prestigious educational institutions around the globe, such as the University Carlos III of Madrid in Spain, University Ca'Foscari di Venezia in Italy, and Mahidol University of Bangkok in Thailand. Furthermore, he did an academic internship in New Delhi, India, for BYO: Shout Networking, and he finished his undergraduate studies in Law, Business, and Film with a multidisciplinary thesis-project: "Morality: Fundamentals of Human Behavior."
