Ritvij Tiwari

Biography

Born in India in 2002, Ritvij is a self proclaimed cinephile and an amateur film critic who doesn't trust anyone who says art isn't an important pillar of society. He has made two machinimas (he doesn't like talking about them) and he often makes random cinematic videos on Instagram stories. His friends and family has grown tired of his tendency to snatch their phones out of their hands to record silly little videos; that is also how he managed to make his first live action film, Jump Cut Jukebox (2020). A paragraph is already excessive for a person like him, so it is in our best interest to end it right here.
