    Writer Assistant

    Working as a Writer Assistant on Para Pencari Tuhan (PPT), one of Indonesia’s longest-running and most prestigious “Sinetron Ramadan” series—is a massive credit. It shows I can handle high-volume production, complex ensemble casts, and the delicate balance of humor and spiritual philosophy.

    PPT 16 PPT 17

    For Jilid 16 (“Kiamat Semakin Dekat”) and Jilid 17 (“Buronan Surga”), I work supported the legendary Deddy Mizwar and the Citra Sinema writing team.

    Long-Form Series Architecture: I helped manage the “spine” of a 30+ episode season, ensuring that daily plotlines stayed consistent with the overarching theme (the punk/youth focus in Jilid 16 and the debt/pinjol themes in Jilid 17).

    Dialogue & Social Commentary: PPT is famous for its sharp, satirical dialogue. As an assistant, you played a role in capturing the authentic “street” vernacular used by the diverse characters while keeping the religious messaging grounded and relatable.

    Rapid Production Cycles: Writing for a Ramadan series is notorious for its speed. Your experience here proves you can deliver high-quality narrative work under extreme deadlines.

    Screenwriter

    PT Demi Gisela Citra Sinema & SinemArt Pictures (Theatrical Release: February 2026)

    Rumah Tanpa Cahaya

    Collaborative Script Development: Collaborated closely within an elite creative team, including legendary filmmaker Deddy Mizwar, Zairin Zain, and director Ody C. Harahap, to develop, write, and refine the screenplay from initial concept to the final, production-ready shooting draft.

    Character Arcs & Narrative Pacing: Contributed heavily to shaping the intricate emotional beats, character development, and narrative pacing of a heavy family drama, ensuring the central theme of grief and familial reconciliation resonated deeply with audiences.

    Dialogue & Structural Finessing: Assisted in drafting organic dialogue, maintaining thematic consistency across scenes, and managing script revisions during the pre-production phase to align with the director’s visual execution.

    Creative Video Editor

    I am a Creative Video Editor and a Top-Rated Upworker specializing in high-retention video post-production for fast-growing YouTube channels and creators. With a professional background that bridges cinematic scriptwriting, cinematography, and digital marketing, I possess a unique ability to “connect the dots” between a raw concept and a viral, polished video.

    Over my career, I have collaborated remotely with international creators to deliver 41+ long-form and short-form videos across highly competitive YouTube niches. My edits have directly driven audience engagement and channel growth, generating over 3.1 million total views and 138K+ likes. Known for my reliability and adaptability to evolving platform algorithms, I establish long-term partnerships with clients—including a continuous 2-year collaborative relationship with key digital creators.

    I have a proven track record of adapting my pacing, visual rhythm, and graphic style across vastly different genres:

    Sports Documentaries: Fast-paced, high-octane editing that captures the momentum, intensity, and rhythm of sports culture.
    Rim Rulers -
    Hoop Pulse -
    The Pile On -
