About the Session:

Becoming a screenwriter is rarely a straight line—it’s a long journey of waiting, self-doubt, and small breakthroughs that slowly shape your craft. This online screenwriting session with Abhishek Bandekar is designed for emerging and working writers who want an honest, practical look at what it really takes to build a career in screenwriting.

Through real experiences from his own path—from assistant director to screenwriter—Abhishek will talk about finding your voice, making the most of every opportunity, and staying resilient in an industry where the outcome is never guaranteed.

In this session we will deep dive on:

  • Resilience & the Reality of the Waiting Game
  • Discovering Your Unique Voice and Bringing It into Your Stories
  • From Assistant Director to Screenwriter: Making the Most of Every Opportunity
  • Why Loving the Process Matters More Than the Outcome
  • Exploring Platforms, Opportunities & the Importance of Industry Exposure
