James Lusty - MovieGainz

Hey there! My passion for film started in 2010, when I was lucky enough to snag a seat in a packed theater showing the mind-bending masterpiece, Inception. From that moment on, I was hooked! Film has since become an integral part of my life, delivering important life lessons, profound messages, and some good old-fashioned fun that I can’t get enough of.

That’s why I started MovieGainz – a platform where I can share my cinematic insights and connect with others over our shared love of film. When I’m not busy running things at MovieGainz, I like to spend my downtime with my loved ones or shooting hoops on the basketball court.

Nayan Vallabh - MovieGainz

Oh boy, do I love a good game of Rugby or Ice Hockey! But when I’m not cheering for my favorite team, you can usually find me cracking open a cold one and glued to my screen watching films. I’ve been a film buff ever since I was a little tike, and that passion has only grown stronger since I joined the amazing MovieGainz community.

There’s just something about movies that transports me to different worlds and lets me experience all sorts of emotions. And you know what I love most about them? The music, baby! Whenever I hear a well-composed score, it just hits me right in the feels and helps me connect with the story even more. That’s why my all-time favorite is Hans Zimmer’s mind-blowing music from Interstellar.
