Kaghati

Halo! I’m Stanley, a 3D character animator currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree at SCAD. Born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, I have always been intrigued by my home country’s rich and diverse culture. Creating Kaghati has given me the privilege to share some of Indonesia's culture with my (super talented) team members from all around the world! Telling a story that revolves around Indonesian elements through animation has been in my bucket lists ever since I fell in love with this medium, and little did I know back then that I will be checking it off real soon. I can not thank everyone enough for bringing Kaghati to life - from the amazing artists I got the pleasure to work with, to our friends and family with their constant love and support for this project since day one.

Hey! I’m Amanda, a Lighting and Look Development VFX artist at SCAD. Indonesian by nationality but born and raised in different countries, I developed a deep fascination with the unique subcultures that emerge from the accumulation of different social groups and traditions. I have always dreamed of one day creating my own story with a female, Southeast Asian lead that people like me could resonate with and feel represented in mainstream media! I have truly grown along with this film both artistically and (like Alya!) with understanding my identity and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with this incredibly dedicated team to bring what was originally just a spontaneous idea to a project so special to me today.
