= Ritsaart Alrick = Ritsaart Alrick (born July 11, 2000) is an dutch film director, screenwriter, music producer, music video director, photographer and graphic designer.

Now 20 years old. With an open mind for every project he can participate in and from which he can gather new mindsets, pitfalls and knowledge with which he can look to the future as a scholar. With his motto "work hard, be motivated and keep smiling. Be inspired by others" he wants to be an example, to inspire people, to show that you can achieve everything, your deepest dreams, as long as you put your best foot forward!

2008 - 2011: The early projects
Always a fan of watching movies, interested in every genre. Little Ritsaart, watched numerous films during his childhood. Until one day in 2008, he felt like making his own film, just with his parents' holiday camera. No script, no experience, just do it. During his early film projects (2008-2011) he progressed with script writing, filming and editing (all on his own). But he didn't know yet that during his high school days he was going to drastically expand his network.

2012 - 2018: Highschool network, experience and growth
During his high school days he met Mark Tijsterman (with whom he still works together), who was impressed by his film ambition and wanted to work on short films. Together they wrote stories for enough film projects to gain experience. Gradually the method changed how they operated. They did the development and screenplay together, but Ritsaart would make a storyboard and film and edit everything, and Mark (and others) would act in it. Every project got better and every year his network grew. It changed from an ambitious hobby to serious work.

2019 - 2020: Own company, a new chapter and the first videoclip
On March 30, 2019, Ritsaart posted the teaser for Attention on his instagram. All his old movies were no longer on his Youtube channel. It was clear that Ritsaart introduced us to a new chapter: The dark age era. Because, Attention is a lot darker than his early work. On April 5, 2019 Ritsaart dropped his 1st official short film under his directors name Ritsaart Alrick. It follows the story of a boy who is stalked by an anonymous message sender. Better than his previous work, Ritsaart showed how much he had grown in camera quality, sound and editing effects. The short film was well received.

Myramid was already under development since mid-2018. It would be 1 film, in which a group of people at a table, in a gloomy atmosphere (the table lamp as the only light source), play a card game, in which separate questions were asked. In August 2019 he filmed the opening for Myramid, in which he also collaborated with Harmen Ganesh van der Meijden for the first time. The screenplay was now a lot more extensive than before and the story would focus more on the character Myramid (and no longer on a simple card game) and his cards. The film also focuses on the participants who play the Myramid game.

In September 2019, Ritsaart met Gijs van Poecke, who is an artist and filmmaker, and he would like to join Myramid. Adjuno Snackey, a classmate of Ritsaart, is also participating as the third participant. The plan was to release Myramid in December 2019, but that was not possible due to the busy schedule. Because Ritsaart still wanted to release a project, he brainstormed a lot with Mark (in October 2019) about the further development of Myramid and decided to make 2 parts. The 1st part (Myramid Origins) would focus on the past of Myramid (in which only Mark plays in, making filming much easier than when he needed the entire group) and part 2 will focus on the story of the project now.

Ritsaart Alrick's The MovieHotspot was founded on January 1, 2020. In addition, he showed on his brand new site that besides making shorts, he is also interested in working as a photographer, video clip maker, business video maker and graphic designer (he made all his short film posters himself).

On February 17, 2020, Ritsaart posted a teaser on his instagram for Myramid Origins. The full movie was released on his Youtube channel on February 21st and was a bigger success than Attention. A day after the release, Ritsaart indicated that a second part was in production, "but that it would take a long time before the project would be released". Firstly: "because it has to surpass the original and secondly because part 2 is going to have a playing time of 40 minutes". "Part 1 was just the build-up", "Part 2 shows what Myramid is capable of ".

During the early corona epidemic, Ritsaart had enough time (and also because Myramid II was stopped due to the virus) to record a lot of tracks together with Harmen, who besides acting in Myramid II is also a singer. From jazz to rock to emo and doowop, Harmlogix dropped his best track 'No Harm No More' on August 24, 2020. The video clip was praised for its unexpected singing talent (without autotune) and dreamy atmosphere due to the special effect created by Ritsaart.

In the summer of 2020, Gijs van Poecke asked Ritsaart whether he could film and edit his short movie about Cain and Abel, which will become a modern variant. He was very impressed with Myramid Origins and wants the same quality for his shorts. During the test takes of Cain and Abel in August 2020, Ritsaart met Tom van Veenendaal, with whom he became good friends. A month later he also met Max Pickkers who is also working on the Cain and Abel project. With these two ambitious young men joined on his team, Ritsaart has many film projects that are planned for the coming years.

2021 - present: Cain and Abel and Myramid II
The Cain and Abel project will be released in 2021.

Many people are still wondering when the second part will be released. Ritsaart hoped for a release by the end of 2020, but the project has been postponed to 2021 due to the corona virus. A more precise title name or release is not yet known.
