About Nandhish Nuchina

Who I Am

Hello! I'm Nandhish Nuchina, the creator of the Movie Review Cavalcade. I'm passionate about analyzing films and exploring the cultural, artistic, existential, economic, topical, and scientific themes they evoke. Through this platform, I strive to present thoughtful critiques that go beyond simple ratings.

I grew up in the state of Connecticut in the United States. I have lived variously all over Connecticut, in Washington D.C., New York, England, and India.

My educational background includes a B.S. double major in Statistics and Economics from George Washington University, a B.S. degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry from the University of Connecticut, and a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from New York University School of Law.

Additionally, I have also variedly studied at the university level, if only briefly, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Film at Central Connecticut State University, The University of Hertfordshire, and Tunxis College respectively.

In July of 2025 I passed the Connecticut Bar Examination after taking the exam for the first time with a score of 321.

My Journey and Achievements

I am a first generation American who got extremely lucky. Growing up I had a real passion for basketball. The Internet allowed me to share this interest with others. At 17 years old, with a 56k modem while utilizing the free Windows Movie Maker software that came with an almost 10 year old computer, I went viral on the Internet when I created a video of a French professional basketball player, a professional slam dunker named Kadour Ziani.

Over the next few years, videos I released onto the Internet went viral several more times. Some of the videos that went viral featured basketball players such as Vince Carter, Dominique Wilkins, Spud Webb, Larry Nance, James White, David Lee, Henry Bekkering, David Thacker of Flying101, Yann De Blaine of Dunkalicious, Hook Mitchell, and professional dunkers from Slam Nation, Flying101, and Team Flight Brothers.

Through the basketball fan community that was sprouting up on the Internet and specifically the website MixMakers.Net, I met other basketball video editing enthusiasts, many who soon became great friends. This led me to work with digital media start-ups of the mid 2000s including Hoopmixtape, BallIsLife, Team Flight Brothers, and Flying101.

At the same time that I was working in the basketball digital media space I was attending college and eventually law school. After I graduated law school I continued to work with companies like Hoopmixtape and then transitioned my skills managing digital media businesses to working as a Project Manager for aerospace companies.

I then went back to school to study computer science, robotics and artificial intelligence, and finally molecular biology and chemistry. Along the way I created this email movie review newsletter too, which has been a truly great and transformative experience.

After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a Molecular Biology B.S. degree and a minor in Chemistry I decided to finally take the Bar Exam. I passed the Connecticut Bar Exam in July of 2025, 13 years after I first graduated from law school, with a score of 321.

Vision and Future Goals

My goal is to transition to working within the Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs field and more broadly within the biomedical sciences field. I think RA is a great fit for my biology and chemistry background as well as my legal and project management background.

I truly would enjoy a job where I can interface with science on a daily basis and keep my bio and chem skills continually in use and constantly in a state of development. I believe the RA profession is an excellent match for my background, skill sets, and interests.
