Lights, Camera, Action! Dive into the World of Spanish Martial Arts Cinema with Nacho Serapio and Alberto Hidalgo. In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the immense pleasure of speaking with two incredible talents from the Spanish film industry, Nacho and Alberto. Both martial arts champions and now rising stars in the world of action cinema, their journeys are nothing short of inspiring. In this awesome episode, Alberto and Nacho talk to Andrew Staton, senior reporter, at the Doncaster UK Martial Arts Show. Nacho's story is one of perseverance and passion. Growing up with a love for action movies and martial arts, he was inspired by legends like Don Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock. His dedication led him to win nine world championships in martial arts, which paved the way for his entry into the film industry. Despite a setback with a broken hand, Nacho channeled his energy into creating his first movie, "Bullets and Katanas." This action comedy features an impressive 50-minute one-take sequence, a testament to Nacho's commitment to delivering an immersive experience. The film has garnered over 20 awards and earned Nacho a place in the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Alberto's journey is equally compelling. Inspired by Bruce Lee at a young age, he pursued martial arts and acting with unwavering determination. His collaboration with Nacho on "Bullets and Katanas" was a fantastic experience, and it led to Nacho directing Alberto's own film, "Hard Coin." This film blends action, comedy, and a touch of drama, showcasing Alberto's skills both in front of and behind the camera. With six novels to his name, Alberto's storytelling prowess shines through in "Hard Coin," which is set to premiere at the Tag Fest in Toledo. The conversation also touched on the rich history of Spanish stuntmen and their influence on the action film genre. Nacho and Alberto highlighted the contributions of Pedro Conde and Dragon Entertainment, a company that embodies the passion and dedication of Spanish filmmakers. Dragon Magazine, a publication dedicated to martial arts, has been a source of inspiration for many, including our guests. For fans of classic action movies and martial arts, this episode is a must-listen. Nacho and Alberto's stories are a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. Their films, "Bullets and Katanas" and "Hard Coin," are available on Amazon Prime UK and will soon be hitting film festivals and platforms worldwide.
