Following ‘Black Rider’s’ triumph at the 2024 New York Festivals TV & Film Awards (NYF), actor Ruru Madrid discovered a newfound motivation on April 16.
The NYF recognizes outstanding content across various genres in TV, Film, Radio, Advertising, and Online media. Madrid expressed heartfelt satisfaction with the recognition of their hard work during a media interview at The Vibe Bar and Cafe.
“Well, siyempre, sobrang nakakataba ng puso. Siyempre lahat naman tayo binubuhos natin ang ating makakaya para mapaganda ang mga programang ginagawa natin. At para mapansin hindi lamang dito sa ating bansa kundi sa New York eh sobrang malaking achievement iyon para sa ating lahat,” said the actor.
Reflecting on the challenges encountered during the production of the show, Madrid attributed their success to the unwavering dedication of both the cast and the production team.
“Sa totoo lang, ‘yung duration ng paggawa nitong Black Rider, kahit na pagsama-samahin lahat ng mga shows na nagawa ko before, ganoon siya kahirap. Mahirap mag-mold ng action.”
“Pero napapadali ito kapag nagko-collaborate ang lahat, at iyon ang maipagmamalaki ko sa grupo na ito. Walang nagpapataasan, lahat nagtutulungan, pantay-pantay. Kumbaga iyon siguro ang naging sikreto kaya nangyayari ang mga ganitong bagay, kaya siya nakakuha ng ganitong klaseng achievement,” he remarked.
The award served as inspiration for Madrid to strive for even greater heights, especially with the series earning a second season.
“Deserve nating lahat ito,” he concluded, emphasizing the collective effort behind their success.
