Quarterfinalist, 2025 Roadmap Writers' Shorts Competition
BIO
ABHISHEK MISHRRA's love for storytelling predates the pandemic, but his screenwriting journey was forged in hardship. Losing his job, he turned to movies—his one constant. Just as hope resurfaced, a crushing critique shattered it: “This isn’t your cup of tea.”
For most, that would have been the end. For Abhishek, it was fuel. Rejection became his fire, pushing him to trade sleep for study, leisure for labor. He wrote, rewrote, and perfected every scene, crafting six shorts—none more demanding than A Combat of the Most Intriguing Mind, Skirt That Bleeds, and Enemy’s Prayer.
His relentless pursuit of excellence led to accolades: A Combat of the Most Intriguing Mind ranked 7th on the Coverfly Red List (May 2024), Skirt That Bleeds 12th (Feb-Mar 2025), and Enemy’s Prayer is making waves. His other works, rich with intrigue and emotion, further cement his voice.
But this journey isn’t just about ambition—it’s a fight. A fight to ensure no rejection, no setback, will silence his stories. With each challenge, his passion burns brighter, driving him to create narratives that leave an indelible mark.
