Jorge Nisco
The renowned Argentine author, film, and TV series director launched this saga with a trilogy of Spanish/English eBooks and released an innovative AI-powered trailer.
The saga originated from the creation of two documentaries, “Templars in America” and “The Inquisition in America,” written by Jorge Nisco, Ramiro San Honorio, and Eduardo Navarta for The History Channel, which aired in 2009 and 2013.
Argentine film, TV, and TV series director Jorge Nisco reissued his debut novel, “The Seventh Staff of God” (Planeta), written with Ramiro San Honorio, in Spanish and English with a series of three eBooks (Amazon Books). He also launched the first book trailer created with generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the inaugural audiovisual content about the novel, expanding the intersection between literature and film, which he developed with director Danila De Felippo.
It’s an action-packed mystery and suspense novel that combines history and science fiction across three eras, with a narrative that captivated fans of conspiracies and historical thrillers from the first edition.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Jorge Nisco has been exploring artificial intelligence as a creative tool for audiovisual production since 2024, when he embarked on a new path aimed at regional and global markets as an independent filmmaker. The incorporation of generative AI as a confluence of art and technology allows the filmmaker to expand his audiovisual language, approaching character creation, scene composition, shot and location design, and editing with a fresh perspective.
This new perspective is incorporated by the director into his career of more than forty fiction works of all genres and formats, with prestigious series and highly popular programs that opened new markets for companies such as HBO, Disney, and Fox, received multiple awards, and included numerous ratings and box office hits, consolidating him as a versatile and passionate creator.

The saga originated from the creation of two documentaries, Templarios en América (Templars in America)—a script that received a Gold Medal at the New York Film Festival—and La Inquisición en América (The Inquisition in America), written by Jorge Nisco, Ramiro San Honorio, and Eduardo Navarta for The History Channel, broadcast in 2009 and 2013. It became a fictional thriller that linked them with traces of the presence of Nazi spies in Argentina, beginning with the Second World War.
Jorge Nisco says, “The novel The Seventh Staff of God excited us, and Ramiro San Honorio and I came up with the idea of a fictional audiovisual product. Last year, we began experimenting with artificial intelligence as a tool, forming a script and directing team with Danila De Felippo. We developed the characters, set up the lighting and camera setup, and developed an experimental generative AI trailer that showcases the story. In addition to using it to promote the new e-books, we continue working to explore this intersection of art and technology, with the idea of bringing the novel to the audiovisual medium.”
The writer and director worked for more than three decades at Pol-ka, where he led the production company’s major hits, directing iconic series such as Mujeres Asesinas and Por el Nombre de Dios, and directed, wrote, and/or developed series for HBO Originals, Fox Television Studios, Walt Disney Pictures, The History Channel, National Geographic, Globomedia, Turner International Argentina, and Patagonik. His collaboration with HBO on the miniseries Epitafios, with Turner on the miniseries Tu parte del Trato, and with Disney on global hits like Violeta and Soy Luna cemented his position as a leading figure in entertainment in Latin America and other continents.

In film, he made his mark with films like Comodines, High School Musical: El Desafío, La lucha de mi vida (the first Argentine 3D film), and the action production Jaque Mate, released on Amazon Prime in 2024.
