Sejal Asar

Sejal Asar has made some real waves in the film industry—her name’s been popping up for good reason. Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy (2025) is the big one folks are buzzing about lately. Seriously, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill documentary. It dives headfirst into the chaos that unfolded at the 2021 Astroworld Festival, blending raw footage, personal accounts, and some brutally honest commentary. The film doesn’t shy away from tough questions either—who messed up, why did things get so out of control, and how did it all spiral so fast? You can feel the tension, the heartbreak, and honestly, the anger that lingers around the whole tragedy. It’s not just about what happened on the stage; it’s about the flawed systems, the missed red flags, and the people left behind to pick up the pieces. But Sejal didn’t just pop up overnight. Back in 2019, she was already getting attention for Newscast, which, while totally different in vibe, showed she’s got a knack for storytelling that cuts through the noise. Newscast was all about pulling back the curtain on how media shapes what we believe—sometimes for better, sometimes for way worse. Between these two projects, Sejal’s clearly not afraid to tackle the big stuff, the messy stuff, the stories most people would rather sweep under the rug. If you’re into films that actually make you think—and maybe yell at your screen a little—her work’s worth a watch.
