Ravi Chand

Born in Fiji, of Indian heritage, Ravi Chand is the recipient of several Screen Australia and VicScreen talent initiatives, including the coveted 12-month VicScreen Screen Development Internship. The producer initiative saw Ravi work full time for VicScreen, ABC TV (Children’s, Adult Scripted, Catalyst & Artworks) and Melbourne production company Sweetshop & Green, where he reviewed 120+ screen projects through the development and production funding pipelines, and provided notes during funding panels.

In 2025, Ravi completed his Master of Film & TV (directing & writing) from the University of Melbourne & Victorian College of Arts (VCA) with First Class Honours. His graduating capstone short film Coconut was selected for the 2026 Telluride and Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). Ravi was also selected for the Telluride Film Festival "Filmmakers of Tomorrow" program and MIFF Accelerator Lab.

He’s also been selected for the AFTRS & Screen Australia Talent Camp, Documentary Australia Foundation Story Works Program, Cinespace Screenwriters Fellowship, and the Screen Australia & ABC ME Kaleidoscope Project where his 22 minute film called Namaste Yoga was broadcast nationally on ABC ME and iview in Australia. Namaste Yoga was also selected for the Maoriland, Chicago International Children's and Cleveland International Film Festivals.

His documentary in development called Five Year Grandma features Ravi’s breathtaking reconnection to his Culture, when he found out his maternal Grandma, who he thought had passed away decades ago was still alive and waiting for him in Fiji. Ravi's Five Year Grandma pitch also won the Information + Cultural Exchange, Diversity Arts Australia and Compton School Greenlight project.

Ravi produced and directed the Bharatanatyam piece for ABC Art Works program. Its Facebook video has become one of the most popular posts for the ABC Art page with 8800+ likes.

Warrior Tribe Films is dedicated to the legacy of Ravi's Grandma, which he channels through his screen work to inspire emancipation from assimilation and colonisation.

Warrior Tribe Films is referencing the Indigenous Tribes in India that resisted the Criminal Tribes Act (1871). Enforced by British colonisers, the Criminal Tribes Act meant even newborns of resisting Tribes were automatically classified as criminals.

The Warrior Tribe Films logo is the same tattoo Ravi and his Grandma share. It is a promise Ravi made to his Grandma that she would never be forgotten.

Ravi also has 20+ years of major event management, sponsorship, volunteer management and digital & social media marketing, which has contributed to a unique skill-set in the screen industry.
