About this episode

The episode discusses the future of AI in filmmaking with Koyal's founder, exploring how technology is transforming the industry.

Hollywood is about to hit a "James Cameron" moment where $200M visions no longer require $200M budgets. In this episode, I sit down with Mehul, the 24-year-old founder of Koyal (YC), who is building the platform that generated the first full-length Bollywood film entirely with AI. We dive into why traditional experience is becoming a liability in Silicon Valley, the "Film Arena" benchmarking the world's best models, and why the future of Netflix is a "choose your own adventure" generated in real-time. What you’ll learn: - Why Silicon Valley views 24 as the cutoff for "young" founders. - The "Film Arena": How Koyal benchmarks Runway, Luma, and Kling. - Why the "Infinite Canvas" UI is a mistake for creative tools. - How AI allows for "reshooting" a movie without a single set. - The future of interactive media: Starring in your own Harry Potter. 📌 Watch now and subscribe for more smart, fast, founder-first interviews.
