Nicholas Sanjaya, a film student at BINUS University, made his directorial debut with 炒麵 - Chǎo miàn, which was officially selected for the 2024 21 Islands International Short Film Festival. Additionally, Ba’da Malam, a film he produced, earned an official selection at the Road to Jakarta Film Week 2024..
Indonesia is one of the countries that produces the most plastic waste. Through this documentary, I hope that Taoufik's actions can reduce plastic waste in Indonesia. This movie uses participatory style to bring the audience closer to Tauofik's experience.
