Diego Peretti spoke about his relationship with Hernán Casciari after the alleged scam complaint

The writer Hernán Casciari, creator of the Orsai project, has become embroiled in controversy after a group of 'producer partners' who funded films under the Orsai community accused him of fraud for not receiving their expected profits and for unclear handling of funds. One of the productions under Orsai is 'La muerte de un comediante,' filmed last year between Brussels and Argentina, directed by and starring Diego Peretti. In response to the accusations against Casciari, Peretti clarified his role in the project through an Instagram post. He stated that Casciari proposed he direct his first film using Orsai’s collective funding model, which had previously been used for 'La uruguaya.' Peretti emphasized that he was hired by Orsai to direct and write the screenplay for the film, working on a volunteer basis. He noted that neither he nor co-director Javier Beltramino were involved in setting conditions for producer investors or managing financial aspects of the project. Both signed fixed-honorarium contracts for artistic work. Peretti expressed pride in the work done and gratitude toward those who supported the project. Meanwhile, Casciari defended himself on Instagram, sharing a QR码

Diego Peretti addressed his involvement with Hernán Casciari following allegations of fraud against the Orsai project. The writer and creator of Orsai found himself at the center of controversy after a group of "producer partners" who funded films within the Orsai universe accused him of fraud for failing to deliver promised profits and for unclear handling of funds. Among these productions was The Death of a Comedian, filmed last year in Brussels and Argentina, directed and starring Peretti. Peretti shared a detailed statement via his official Instagram account (@peretti_oficial). He explained that Casciari proposed he direct his first film under Orsai's collective funding model, which had already been used to produce The Uruguayan. Under this system, contributors could participate as "producer partners." Peretti was hired by Orsai to direct his first film, co-directed with Javier Beltramino, in which he also starred and wrote the script. Both roles were done ad honorem. He emphasized that from the beginning, they understood the opportunity was made possible by thousands of people who trusted the project. They worked hard to make the best film possible. Peretti clarified that neither he nor Beltramino participated in defining conditions offered to producer partners, including economic terms, nor did they handle fundraising, administration, or financial management of the project. Both fulfilled their professional commitments on time. He expressed pride in the work completed and gratitude toward everyone who supported the project. Casciari responded to the accusations through his Instagram account (@casciari). He posted a video with a QR code linking to a webpage displaying invoices issued by Orsai based on investments from producers, including names and surnames. He stated he would not accept being called fraudulent, a Ponzi scheme, or anything similar regarding Orsai. He insisted Orsai has never engaged in such practices and will never do so.
