Hi everyone,

I’m Muneswar, 24M.

I recently left my job and decided to take a break for the next 2 years.

I know that probably sounds crazy to some people, but there’s something I’ve wanted to pursue for a long time — filmmaking, specifically direction and screenplay.

I’ve written several screenplays and stage plays over the years. Writing stories is something I genuinely enjoy, but I’ve realized that writing from the outside isn't enough anymore.

I want to actually be on a film set and understand how films are made.

My immediate goal is to find opportunities to work as an AD (Assistant Director) on films so I can learn the process from the ground up — pre-production, scheduling, blocking, working with actors, camera departments, production, set discipline, and everything else that goes into making a film.

I don't expect to walk onto a set and start directing. 😅

I'm willing to start wherever I can, learn, observe, assist, and do the work.

I'm also open to collaborating with other filmmakers, writers, cinematographers, editors, actors, musicians, or anyone else who is seriously interested in making films.

I'm not looking for people who just want to talk about making a movie someday.

I want to actually make things.

I have a personal deadline in my head:

730 days.

I have these two years to figure out what I'm capable of, learn filmmaking practically, meet people, work on sets, write, make short films, make mistakes, and hopefully discover whether this is truly the life I want.

Maybe at the end of those 730 days I'll know that filmmaking is exactly where I belong.

Maybe I'll discover something completely different.

But I'd rather spend two years finding out than spend the next ten years wondering "What if I had tried?"

If you're working in the film industry, especially as an AD, director, writer, or crew member, I'd genuinely appreciate any advice on how someone like me can get started.

And if you're also trying to make films and looking for someone to collaborate with, feel free to DM me.

I'm based in India and I'm willing to learn, travel, and start from the bottom.

730 days. Let's see where this takes me. 🎬
