Working at the intersection of film and culture, we are an award-winning trans-led film production company with a primary focus on creating and curating narratives that are brown, queer and women-led. Based in Mumbai (India), we are a small team of dedicated and bold creatives looking to the future of filmmaking, with cultural awareness and integrity, and above all, a love for the medium of film.

Founded in 2019 by Asawari Jagushte and Varsha Panikar, Star Hopper was born out of the need to create a film culture, a space, a new digital landscape for filmmakers, technicians and talent from South Asian LGBTQIA++ and underrepresented communities to thrive and flourish. We believe in the power and magic of storytelling and serve to tell inspiring and impact driven stories from an intersectional and cross-cultural lens.

We invite you to reach out to us at starhopper.in@gmail.com for all intents and purposes. We're always on the lookout for talented individuals to join our team on a freelance basis, regardless of your location around the world. If you're a filmmaker, technician, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Share your resume, showreel, a brief bio, and and line or two about why you'd like to work with us. For performer, artist or talent, write to us at starhoppercasting@gmail.com. We particularly encourage BIPOC GSM, Queer, Trans, GNC, and Women filmmakers and artists to apply.

​

As much as we love surprises, please do not send us unsolicited and unregistered scripts. If you want to discuss your project, send in a brief creative pitch and we can start there.​ Our team is committed to responding promptly to most, if not all, inquiries. If your matter requires urgent attention, please indicate so in your communication. We eagerly look forward to the opportunity of connecting with you and exploring potential avenues for collaboration.
