Jakarta, IO – After spending four months drafting the script and three months preparing for the filming, nearly 90 percent of the cinematography for “Kejar Mimpi, Gaspol!” was completed, shooting in Bromo, Malang, and Jakarta (10%) over nearly three weeks.
Uncomfortably cold weather did not deter the film crews and actors from the production, as shooting took place in the breathtaking and magical Bromo landscape. All the cast built excellent relationships with local people and swiftly blended with the Bromo people’s customs and daily lives.
The actors brilliantly captured and conveyed the story, acting out the screenplay which Arie Kriting, Abdur Arsyad and Sindy Asta wrote, under the direction of director Hastobroto and cinematographer Asep Kalila. The emotional plot with a comic touch was beautifully complemented by Andi Riyanto’s musical soundtrack.
