Caballero

Jaxson Archer, a well-worn action star itching to prove he can actually act, jumps at the chance to play silent-era heartthrob Valentine Caballero in a sweeping period biopic. Looking to fully immerse himself in the role, Jaxson impulsively buys Caballero’s long-abandoned Beverly Hills mansion—a crumbling Spanish Colonial dripping with vintage Hollywood glamour... and something else entirely. At first, the signs are subtle. A piano plays by itself. A bathroom remodel refuses to stick. A projector flickers on when no one's there. But soon, Jaxson finds himself face-to-face with the ghost of Valentine Caballero himself—dramatic, opinionated, and very much not the Latin lover the world remembers. Valentine reveals that the official story of his life—and death—is a lie. He didn’t die tragically over the Baroness Von Zolt. He died while eating a ham sandwich and preparing for a night with a ruffled extra from Mary, Queen of Scots. Now, nearly a century later, he wants Jaxson to fix his legacy. Caught between an industry that fears the truth and a ghost who won't take no for an answer, Jaxson spirals into a comic, emotional struggle to revise the script, dodge the studio, survive his jealous girlfriend, and somehow convince Hollywood to tell a story it was never ready to tell. What follows is a fast-paced collision of egos, unexpected allies, spectral visits, and tango numbers. As the truth about Valentine’s life comes to light, Jaxson must decide whether he's willing to risk his career—and his sanity—for a man who lived in shadows but left behind a legacy worth illuminating. Funny, sharp, and full of heart, Caballero is a haunted Hollywood satire about identity, illusion, and the power of finally telling your own story.
