Home » Shiv B.
Shiv is a screenwriter and aspiring director who cannot help but write about societal dysfunction from the perspective of complicated women. Women who are typically invisible to the screen, whose voices we fail to hear and are never the heroes.
Sounds intense! Package this all into high-octane action-thrillers and you’ve got yourself a screenplay. What if Arnie wasn’t the hero? What if it wasn’t Rocky making a comeback? Or Bruce saving the building from terrorists…What if it was Suneeta from accounts?
Shiv’s screenplays have garnered over 42 accolades, ranging from winner of the Screencraft TV pilot award, CineStory finalist as well as her script The Nightshift, listed as the number one TV thriller of all time on revered screenwriting website, Coverfly. In addition, all of Shiv’s screenplays have featured on the top 20 list/Red List on Coverfly.
