About Vir

Hey there! I have to say, I’m first and foremost a film lover. Everything I do creatively is influenced by the things that I watch that affect and inspire me the most. I just loved watching movies first, and that gave me the passion to study them, and now help make them. I’m primarily an editor, having been self-taught for about 8 years and now proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro. I’ve edited student films while I was at university as well as my own personal work such as my film edits Instagram page “The Datta Cut”. I enjoy and feel I have a knack for editing rhythmically and to music. I also enjoy screenwriting, and have written un-produced short films for a screenwriting course. Most of my writing has been similarly recreational, including a feature I’ve recently started sketching out which I’m quite enjoying, but I also write creatively and critically in other ways. I write a monthly “What to Watch” section for my college’s student radio channel WMRE.live, where I break down the upcoming film and TV releases of a given month and provide recommendations about what to watch. I am also more than happy to serve as a runner or an extra pair of hands on set - my work on student films has strengthened my skills in working as a team with the rest of the crew and handling equipment. Most of all, I’m just excited to meet and work with similarly creative people on here!
