The film adopts a mockumentary style to follow a character obsessed with visibility, buzz, and digital success. To achieve his aim, Giaccomo deploys a range of strategies and staging, in a journey that probes the mechanics of influence and the line between public persona, fiction, and performance.
The Giaccomo brings together a lineup of personalities appearing as themselves, including Tibo Inshape, Ragnar Le Breton, Benjamin Castaldi, Bastos, Michel Cymes, Magali Berdah, Jordan Deluxe, Nicolas Waldorf, and Lisa Palco. The film thus plays with the media and digital ecosystems that surround content creators.
Presented in competition at the 2026 Alpe d’Huez International Comedy Film Festival, The Giaccomo marks Baptiste Drapeau’s third feature, following Venir sur ses pas and Messe basse. The project extends the work surrounding the Giaccomo character, which sprang from a spoof account created on social media.
