Ankit Kothari - Storython Reviews 

The course was a good introduction to script writing especially for someone like me from a non writing, non arts background but I skipped the second day with the understanding that the recording will be available on the app but only the first day was available which I think was not fair. It should be available at least for the day so that one can watch if one could attend due to some reason. My money essentially got wasted since I couldn't even see the videos. I'm only giving 3 stars because the course wasn't bad as such but this has to change.

The program was really good and helpful too.
I am grateful tobe the part of it.

one of the best session i ve attended regarding screenwriting. In depth knowledge given. Highly recommend this to people who are looking to start their career in screenwriting as well as for people who are already into the field. Ankit Kothari is a master and has immense knowledge about screenwriting.

Ankit Kothari is an exceptional mentor, offering expert guidance, support and encouragement. Highly recommended.

Enlightening...

Spellbound today , Sir explain it more than enough.

Storython is an absolute platform to nurture your writing skills. Ankit Sir emphasis that how important is to be unique in order to deliver an individual perspective on paper. Ankit Sir is a gem who will tap the best of you. He's for me an absolute genius. So if anyone anywhere gets a chance must indulge in his sessions. It's no less than a privilege and a blessing to be guided by him.

We had an amazing sessions with Ankit sir and community members, where we discussed loglines and gave feedback. These learning sessions are like GEMS to any writer to streamline their process and ask questions if feel stuck. Highly recommend Ankit's Storython to filmmakers, writers and freamers who wish to have a tanginble outcome of their emotions and experiences.

After watching lots of writing videos on YouTube landed up on Ankit Kothari's YouTube channel. Loved the content & enrolled myself in the foundation course.

One of the best decisions of my life. After attending most of the sessions I can say that it's a very well-designed course. Starting from Idea generation to rewriting. Every module is discussed in detail with assignments, film screenings & group discussions clearing the concepts.

Best thing is that generally the videos/ books available on screenwriting takes refence from foreign films. But in this course maximum references are from Indian movies ( both short / feature), which makes learning more easier.

The continuous guidance inculcated a sense of self belief in me & gave me confidence to continue my journey as a writer.

Highly recommended.

I recently completed a screenplay writing course with Ankit, and I can’t recommend it enough. Ankit has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable lessons, making even the most challenging aspects of screenwriting accessible. His teaching style is thorough and detail-oriented, ensuring that every nuance of the craft is covered.

One of Ankit’s greatest strengths is his unwavering support. He never gives up on his students, consistently pushing us to achieve our best and keeping us motivated throughout the course. His commitment to our individual progress is evident in the way he follows up on our development and provides personalized feedback.

Ankit also excels at inspiring us to set clear, precise goals and to stay focused on our journey. His dedication to tracking our progress and his insightful guidance have been instrumental in helping us refine our skills and grow as screenwriters. If you’re looking for a course that combines expert instruction with genuine encouragement and support, Ankit’s class is the perfect choice.

Unless you are complete gullible noob, this storython teaches you nothing. The advertisement on Instagram says 'we'll decode all writing techniques' but delivers absolutely nothing. I enrolled to learn writing techniques. Not some feel good motivation about being a writer. Tested my patience as to when he will talk about writing techniques of Maharaja. In the less than 1 hr he spoke about writing, they were just basics you'll find in any YouTube video on screenwriting. Nothing worth paying him at all. These sessions are just elaborate advertisment to join the paid courses they offer and talks almost nothing about writing. It felt like a lazy school teacher skipping to teach the topic saying 'you will study about this topic in higher classes but join my private tution classes if you want to learn now'. YouTube videos were far more informative than this storython. How can you even ask people to rate you on this website and comment on Instagram while the session is still on? How manipulative is that man. Please don't bother to justify by replying to this.

What went wrong:

- The workshop focused more on providing motivation rather than teaching practical writing techniques, which was my primary expectation.
- A considerable amount of time was spent promoting the advanced course, interrupting the learning process.
- The instructor used the movie Maharaja as a key example throughout the workshop but did not inform participants to watch it beforehand. As I hadn’t seen the movie, it was difficult for me to understand some points.
- Significant time was devoted to promoting a “Habit Tracking” course, which felt unrelated to the main purpose of the workshop.
- During more than 30-minute promotion for the advanced course, I privately messaged the team requesting to move forward with the lesson and save promotions for the end. Instead of addressing my concern, my messages were deleted twice by a team member, which felt dismissive.
- The workshop content that I learned could have been covered within two hours. The rest of the time was spent on motivation and promotions, which wasn’t what I signed up for.
- Participants were asked to leave a review on Trustpilot during the workshop itself, which felt manipulative.

What could be improved:

- Please value everyone’s time. Although I didn’t ask for a refund, I appreciate it. However, it doesn’t recover the time I invested.
- Limit the time spent on promotions and motivation to a maximum of 10%, and consider keeping these segments separate. This allows students to decide if they want to engage with them without feeling overwhelmed. Otherwise, it can feel like a burden.

Yesterday, I learned a few new things about screenplay writing process especially, about how easily we can write a logline and it's importance. There are so many books and websites on the topic, but I was always confused. However, it all became clear to me yesterday

The session starts on time. And My writing is being assembled.

Today I could change my thinking just by taking this class

I am Subramanyam.
Ankit sir is unique and different in teahing. He teaches the concepts in detail and in depth.

Loved the ACR technique to analyse a scene, specially reversal of expectations

A great explanation and break every story part or scene.

Process Wins over Pure Passion...
