The Filmistan Rewrite Generation Series
A five-book fiction series dramatizing the cinematic wars India must win.
Each book tackles one pillar of transformation — and together, they ignite a story-first revolution.
Series Overview
Behind the glitz of Bollywood lies a deeper story waiting to be told.
The Filmistan Rewrite Generation Series blends gripping fiction with cultural, creative, and business reformation — daring to imagine how Indian cinema can become a globally resonant force.
But this is more than fiction.
Each book is paired with a companion workbook — practical, story-first field guides designed to empower readers to step into the very creative roles these stories champion.
The Series in 5 Acts
The Filmistan Rewrite Generation Series adopts a powerful storytelling architecture inspired by Larry Brooks’s Story Engineering framework. This alignment ensures each book progressively escalates tension, deepens emotional stakes, and sharpens the thematic battles, guiding readers seamlessly from an initial spark of transformation through dramatic confrontations to a climactic resolution. As the series unfolds across clear narrative acts—Setup, Wandering and Midpoint, Attack, Climax, and Resolution—the stakes intensify, driving home the urgency of each transformation pillar. This thoughtful structural alignment makes each book not only compelling and immersive but also strategically connected to form a unified vision of cinematic rebirth.
