About Salil
Stories have the power to entertain, inspire, and change the way we see the world. As a graduate of the London Film School and a professional writer-director, screenwriting has always been at the heart of my creative journey. Over the years, I have written feature-length screenplays and short films while developing projects for production and pitching to producers and investors. My approach combines the craft of storytelling with the practical realities of the film industry. Whether you're writing your very first script, preparing for film school, or refining a screenplay you've already started, I'll help you create compelling characters, engaging dialogue, and stories that connect with audiences.

Salil has been a passionate storyteller since the first I knew him, which was in our Mass Media college a couple of decades back. He got so many of us into trying out tricks of film making even then, when film making was organic and precious.

I worked with Salil for six months as an AD and DA on a project he wrote and directed. Although he never formally taught me, working with him taught me a great deal about screenwriting and filmmaking. I learned that screenwriting is much more than just writing —it is a highly technical and professional craft that requires precision, structure, and a clear understanding of filmmaking. His attention to detail and approach to the craft are exceptional, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone serious about learning screenwriting and filmmaking.
