Filmmaker and motorcycle enthusiast Roberto Serrini joins me on Reel Riders to talk about the deep connection between storytelling and riding. From his breakout motorcycle film Moto Borgotaro to his latest motorcycle documentary The Rider, Roberto shares how filmmaking and motorcycling are two sides of the same coin - both about risk, experience, and the thrill of the unknown.
Key highlights:
* Why motorcycles are the worst - and best - form of transport.
* The story behind Moto Borgotaro.
* Breaking clichés in motorcycle films.
* The power of persistence in creativity.
* The Rider and the future of motorcycle storytelling.
