Santi Serra’s horse training techniques will soon be hitting global theaters…

Spanish producer Nostromo Pictures is partnering with Beta Fiction Spain to launch Hermano Caballo, a documentary about the renowned Catalan wrangler, the developer of a natural training technique based on creating bonds with horses and learning through play.

The film is from Marcel Barrena, director of  Mediterraneo: The Law of the Sea and 100 Meters.

Barrena shows how Serra develops his own language with animals, especially with his horses, managing to communicate with them and establish strong relationships of trust and friendship.

Hermano Caballo marks the first documentary produced by Nostromo Pictures and also the first handled by Beta Fiction Spain, the Spanish arm of Jan Mojto’s European studio Beta Film, which launched last year.

Hermano Caballo is scheduled for a Spanish release before the summer and, to be announced soon, a festival that will serve as the doc-feature’s launch pad.

“This is a very cinematographic, family documentary, full of values and where we see how a unique bond of friendship develops between a dying horse and Santi,” said Adrián Guerra, Nostromo co-founder alongside Núria Valls.

“If it were a fictional feature film, it would be a great family event and we thought that the documentary, as for example My Octopus Teacher achieved, could stand as a documentary on its own,” Guerra added.
