Are We Listening?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Spoiler warning: This essay contains mild spoilers for The Odyssey and Ikkis. A screenwriting professor once told our class, "Every story has already been told. Don't worry about telling a new one. Just tell yours." I remember pushing back against that idea. It felt oddly defeatist. As film students, we're taught to chase originality, to find a voice that nobody else has. But maybe originality has never been about inventing a new story. Maybe it's about recognising an old one at exactly the...]]></description><link>https://amykoyal2310.wixsite.com/byaryaki/post/capturing-authentic-stories-through-cinematic-techniques</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a64b87435380d3132b14b51</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Jul 2026 13:21:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/93e0c061c71d4eeeb781ab9bac908b65.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Aryaki</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[I made a Feature Film at 24]]></title><description><![CDATA[Not because I wanted to beat Damien Chazelle, but because I couldn’t wait and I didn’t have to do it alone. ‘Making a film alone’ sounds a little like carrying a matka with no water in it. You can do it.But what’s the point? I didn’t fully understand that when I started. I just wanted to make something meaningful, slowly it turned out to be that… I made a feature film at 24.I didn't feel ‘ready'. But I didn’t know how to wait for permission. At 22, after graduating from film school, I thought...]]></description><link>https://amykoyal2310.wixsite.com/byaryaki/post/behind-the-lens-documentary-filmmaking-and-emotion</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a64b8741050e5732188e472</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Jul 2026 13:21:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4b5e63_e342a95eeda4466b83e7f73054f370ee~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_952,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Aryaki</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revisiting Mentorship and the Idea of ‘Practice’ in film]]></title><description><![CDATA[A few conversations with master cinematographers changed the questions I ask every time I read a script.
