How to create stories from the mundane | Suresh Eriyat | TEDxMICA

You just have to beg, borrow, steal from everything and everyone around, find the stories and tell them.” A visual storyteller and animator, Suresh Eriyat, the founder of film Studio Eeksauras, demystifies storytelling and shares with us how he draws the inspirations to create impactful award-winning stories from his childhood anecdotes and mundane daily events, and how we can walk the same path. Today’s difficult times globally call for each one of us to create and share stories of hope and resilience, and in this talk, Eriyat leaves us with a 3-step story creation technique: Listen, Observe, Record and most importantly, Share.
