Making Light in Tbilisi is the first film by 16-year-old, Nilo Batle of San Francisco, CA. I'ts a documentary about his family’s experience making art during Artisterium, an art biennial held in Tbilisi, Georgia

He attends Ruth Asawa School of the Arts in the Media and Film Arts department. He has been making films for less than a year. Batle says, "I have become so passionate about my involvement in film that I have decided to peruse film making in college."
