An aspiring screenplay writer from Calcutta, India.
I started writing screenplays some three years back. For some reason, I chose not to write screenplays for movies made in India though I live in a city which has its own film industry. From the beginning, I was fascinated by movies from Hollywood and Europe and so, I picked up some books, read many scripts and lurked in forums to know what this craft was all about.
Later, I got several freelancing jobs to write for Direct-to DVD movies. Those scripts were average, even plain bad. But I sold some and made some money and got some experience. After a total of nine such jobs, I stopped and now I'm writing my own screenplays. I have no illusions about my chances of selling a script in Hollywood. It is almost impossible. But the sheer fun of writing keeps me going on.
My genres are horror, thriller and fantasy. A keen movie buff, I'm also writing a novel.
