I wrote, produced, and co-directed the animated comedy short film "She and Her Good Vibrations" with animation filmmaker Sarah Cheok. Our film's Kickstarter campaign successfully raised 152% of its funding goal and appeared on VICE. The film premiered in Singapore International Film Festival 2023 and is travelling to film festivals worldwide, including SXSW Sydney '24 (Australia), Asian American International Film Festival (New York) '24, Filmfest Dresden '24 (Germany), and Guanajuato International Film Festival '24 (Mexico).
Previously, I directed the experimental dance short film "Rite of Passage". The film was featured in Asian Film Archive's Singapore Shorts 2021, Athens International Film and Video Festival 2021 (an Oscar-qualifying film festival in the U.S.), San Francisco Dance Film Festival 2021, and The International Festival of Films on Art (Le FIFA, Canada) 2022.
Other directing work includes romantic comedy short film “Just Because We’re Friends”, as well as YouTube comedy web series “Alice Wants a Date”.
As a producer, I worked on the drama short film "Last Call (Panggilan Terakhir)" with Singapore director Eysham Ali. Set in Singapore's Changi Airport, the film was an official selection of Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia (Japan) 2022 and Flickers' Rhode Island Film Festival 2022. Both film festivals are Oscars-qualifying.
As a writer, I co-wrote two episodes for tween animated series "Puberteens" which was produced by Singapore animation studio Finding Pictures for Mediacorp.
I've previously worked for Amazon Studios’ Indonesian Local Originals films and series team as a development coordinator. I had also worked on publicity and digital marketing campaigns for BBC StoryWorks and Asian Food Channel.
I had participated in Platform Busan 2022, MyLab+ Jogja 2023 (Special Intake Participant), Cinemovement Dance Film Lab 2020. I graduated from Singapore Management University, majoring in marketing and psychology.
Born in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, I'm interested in telling female-driven stories from around the world through a visual medium. Besides filmmaking, I've also done stand-up comedy sets!
