Entourage Films brings women directors together for a candid first podcast episode on filmmaking

The debut episode of Catch Up With Crew, hosted by Garima Arora, brings Jessica Sadana, Shai Samtaney, Arunima Sharma, Roopali Singhal, and Shachi Malhotra into a roundtable conversation on creative freedom, rejection, pre shoot anxieties, and balancing motherhood with work in the entertainment industry.

Women working behind the camera take centre stage in the first episode of Catch Up With Crew, a new podcast launched by Entourage Films to explore the experiences of women filmmakers and the culture of working in the entertainment industry.
Titled Rolling With Her, the debut episode brings together directors Jessica Sadana, Shai Samtaney, Arunima Sharma, Roopali Singhal, and Shachi Malhotra in a roundtable conversation hosted by Garima Arora. The discussion moves through personal and professional milestones, offering a candid look at the paths that shaped their journeys in film.

The episode touches on moving to Mumbai in pursuit of a career, time spent in film school, and the routines and anxieties that come before a shoot. It also opens up space for conversations around rejection, creative freedom, and the realities of balancing pregnancy and motherhood with professional commitments.
By keeping the tone conversational and unfiltered, the episode focuses on the lived experience of working behind the lens rather than presenting a polished industry narrative. The exchange highlights both the uncertainty and the solidarity that can shape careers in filmmaking.

Garima Arora, Founder and Executive Producer at Entourage Films, said, “These directors have been an inspiration to me, and I am sure they serve as an inspiration for other women around the country. Seeing them thriving as artists from such varied backgrounds can be deeply inspiring. I believe representation like this makes the journey feel more tangible and can potentially set the wheels of someone else’s career in motion, and this is what Catch Up With Crew is all about.”
With its opening episode, Catch Up With Crew positions itself as a space for conversations around women’s voices, creative practice, and the realities of the entertainment workplace, while extending Entourage Films’ focus on women led storytelling.
