Arya Ameen

I was taught to understand life through the lens of various kinds of fiction: film, television, books. As a result, stories are how I communicate with and navigate the world around me. With a Bachelor's degree in Film Studies, a postgraduate certificate in Film Production, as well as several hours dedicated to self-taught creative hobbies such as digital and non-digital art, crafts, and photography, my skills make me a great asset in a creative environment.

My degree in Film Studies has been an excellent background to have as I venture into film production. The knowledge and inspiration I have gained from analysing and critiquing decades of cinema from all over the world informs by abilities when I am writing scripts, conceptualising scenes, as well as when putting a film together at the editing table, giving me the confidence to pursue my career goal in directing films.

Patu Pictures is a hub for creative storytelling, driven by nostalgia and wonder. Inspired by the kinds of genre and character-driven films I grew up with, such as the prime works of Steven Spielberg, Patu Pictures aims to create stories that reach out to all with just a touch of nostalgia.

Patu Pictures is named after my best friend, Loki 'Patu' Ameen
