I had an absolute blast last week as a Legacy Fulbright Ambassador giving a Fulbright Talk to faculty and international education administrators at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, telling them about my own experiences and urging them to apply. You too, US faculty and admins! Applications for the ’26-’27 cycle are available.

Many thanks to Director of the Tisch Initiative for Creative Research Dana Whitco and Administrator Kristel Baldoz, and Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing Chair Joe Vinciguerra for arranging it.

Abhijit’s Swan Song

Drexel University’s first Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence, Indian independent film director Abhijit Chowdhury, made his final public appearance this week before departing to India.

He spoke to students at my alma mater NYU Tisch School of the Arts Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing on Tuesday March 26th. Students in Department Chair Prof. Joe Vinciguerra‘s class Writing the Low Budget Feature.

Students had watched a portion of Abhijit’s latest film, The Strange Life of Dhrubo, currently in post-production, in advance of his visit to discuss the challenges of writing and producing independent films on a shoestring.
