DIRECTORS
Ranju & Sanjit Majumdar
Identical twins Ranju and Sanjit Majumdar began their journey into filmmaking at the age of 16 when they directed the no-budget feature AN OPTIMISTIC PERSPECTIVE. The project would later screen at regional festivals along with their animated short BOWLING FOR A DREAM.
While in their freshman year at Penn State, the twins were invited to participate in the prestigious 2005 Berlinale Talent Campus. The following summer, they developed the micro-budget feature DETERMINISM, which was scripted, shot, and edited while working toward their undergraduate degrees in New Media. DETERMINISM later had its world premiere on Netflix.
After assistant editing independent features, including Rick Alverson's THE COMEDY (Sundance 2012), the twins shifted their focus to color correction. Feature films most recently colored by the twins include the Spike Lee-produced CRONIES (Sundance 2015), the acclaimed true crime doc series UNTITLED PIZZA MOVIE, directed by David Shapiro (Sundance 2020), and the Ukrainian war documentary A RISING FURY (Tribeca 2022).
