Ash Sivakumar

Grown on cinematic classics like Jurassic Park and Finding Nemo (yes, you heard that right), Ash is huge on films. Call him a cinephile and he'd be delighted about it. The biggest fan of Interstellar and every other Christopher Nolan you'll find around, he has a fond appreciation for space flicks, science-fiction, and epics, because he thinks space is just neat. If he's not writing about them, you'll find him rediscovering his love for films with whatever works he can find.
