‘Who Will You Portray?’: Life Writing and Filmmaking in Nicolás Teté’s <i>What We Wrote Together</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this interview, I discuss, with Argentine writer-director Nicolás Teté, his latest film What We Wrote Together (2024). Centred on the experiences of a young couple (Ezequiel Esteban Martinez and Santiago Magariños), the film follows their transition from the city to the country: it examines how Juan (Martinez) juggles between writing and promoting his (autobiographical) fiction, while his partner Mariano (Magariños) shifts careers from that of a graphic designer to those of a garden centre’s proprietor and a future potter. Teté is the producer, director, and writer of the fictional films Last Family Holidays (2013), Onyx (2015), and A Skeleton in the Closet (2020); and he is the co-director of the documentary Shineless (2018). These films have appeared in festivals including BAFICI, Mar del Plata, Punta del Este, San Diego Latino, and San Pablo Latino. Teté is also the author of the short story collections Nada nos puede pasar (2021) and Aplausos (2025). This interview advances scholarship by looking at a film all about the life of writing, by exploring Teté’s own meditations on writing today via his imaginative project, and by lending an international perspective to the creative process.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
