STAR HOPPER is an award-winning creative studio and film production company crafting socially conscious narratives that are brown, queer, and women-led. Rooted in a deep love for cinema, we approach filmmaking as a process-driven, impact-driven practice—prioritizing cultural awareness, integrity, and authentic storytelling.
Working at the intersection of film and culture, we are a one-stop creative house—a thought factory where ideas are nurtured, challenged, and brought to life. From films to immersive storytelling, we reimagine not just the stories we tell, but how they are made.
