Matt Ritenour started working with California State University, Chico's Advanced Laboratory for Visual Anthropology (ALVA) as a student in 2012. Since graduating in 2013, he has continued working with the lab, filming and editing documentaries that cover a wide array of topics. His most recent project-and his first as a director-is Impact of the Frolic, which won a Northern California-area Emmy Award on June 6, 2015.
