I was born in Wonosobo, a mountain city in north of Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 1985. I studied Indonesian traditional music in Indonesia School of Art Bandung for a year and moved to Yogyakarta in 2004 to learn communication science. In this city I become fall in love with filmmaking. In year 2008, with two of my friends I founded an independent production company in Yogyakarta, which called Hide Project Indonesia. I was also involved in several film projects with Indonesian filmmakers and abroad.
