Ritchie Mistri is a Kenyan film director, actor, and cinematographer whose journey began with a leap of faith. After studying programming and computer science, he realized his heart belonged to film. What started as a short course at ADMI quickly grew into a full diploma in Film and TV Production, a decision that set him on a path of discovery, creativity, and growth. In this conversation, Ritchie opens up about his time at ADMI, the challenges he faced, and the late nights spent locked inside the school editing and pushing past limits. He reflects on how the community of peers and lecturers shaped his experience, providing both collaboration and competition. For him, ADMI was not just a school, it was a home where creative freedom thrived and friendships grew into lifelong bonds. Ritchie also shares what it takes to build a career in the film industry. He speaks honestly about the discipline, resilience, and personal drive required to stand out and make an impact. His story is a reminder to future students that they are not alone, and that with passion and effort, their unique creative voice can find its place in the world. Watch, learn, and get inspired. This is not just school. This is ADMI.
