Abishek was a partner at 89Dreams, a film production company based in Thailand. Until recently, most of his notable credits were as a production manager. Lately, he has switched his focus to directing, and was the director of three royally commissioned short films in honor of His Majesty the Late King Rama the 9th. Abishek is also a managing partner at Madling Entertainment, where he produced the feature film Choice (2013), which had a wide theatrical release in Thailand. Early in his career he took on a variety of crew positions for the US film studio Pureflix accumulating an array of credits in production, post production, and as an actor. Under the 89Dreams banner, Abishek produced the feature film Fail Stage (2017), and directed his debut feature film, M.I.A. A Greater Evil (2018), for which he won Best Director at the Logcinema Film Festival 2018. Abishek has shifted his focus to screenwriting, embarking on this new path as a writer on the Netflix Original Series Shimmers (2019). Most recently, Abishek co-created and wrote Scholar (2020), a series pilot that was a finalist in the 2019 HOOQ Filmmaker's Guild.
