I'm the author of El Sommelier de Sangre (The Blood Sommelier), a published psychological thriller now available on Amazon — and I'm actively seeking collaborators to bring it to screen.
The story follows Christelle Reds, a gifted sommelier with synesthesia who can literally taste emotions in wine. When she's drawn into the orbit of Dr. Víctor Balli — a brilliant neurosurgeon hiding a monstrous appetite — she must navigate a world where refined wine culture masks unspeakable horror. Set against the vineyards of La Rioja, it's The Silence of the Lambs meets the sensory world of fine wine, like in the Drops of God.
What makes this project compelling for adaptation:
— A unique protagonist with a built-in visual hook (synesthesia rendered on screen).
— A cat-and-mouse dynamic between two intellectually matched characters.
— Rich, atmospheric setting with global production appeal (Spain/Europe).
— Existing IP with a built-in saga (Nazar Castle saga) for series potential.
— Bilingual source material — positioned for both English-language and LATAM markets.
I have ready the bible, pitch, book movie trailer and 63 pages script in English.
I'm looking to connect with producers, development executives, and directors drawn to grounded, high-intensity storytelling in the vein of Hannibal, Perfume, or The Menu.
Happy to share the novel, a one-sheet, or discuss adaptation rights.
Let's talk.
That sounds awesome! Jose Ferreyra
