Kapanlagi.com - Umay Shahab dared to appear behind the scenes as the director of the original series TrueID titled Hari Ini Kenapa, Naira? together with Sinemaku Pictures production house.
The 20-year-old man has long been immersed in the profession behind the scenes. His debut was trying to make a short film.
"Initially five years ago. Just learning, borrowing a friend's camera to take pictures. Then tried making short films a few years ago," said Umay Shahab when met at the press conference for the original series TrueID Hari Ini Kenapa, Naira?, in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (20/10).
Before diving directly behind the scenes, Umay admitted that he learned a lot from the skilled director Monty Tiwa. That's why, when he got the opportunity to be a director, he also invited Monty Tiwa to help him.
"Coincidentally, this project is supervised and greatly assisted by Mr. Monty. So, I just walked and tried something new that I had never done before. So, I was very committed to it," he said.
1. Assisted by Prilly Latuconsina
In her directorial debut, Umay was also assisted by Prilly Latuconsina, who also served as a producer and actress in the series.
"Because we have been friends for a long time and we have a good connection both in friendship and work. For me, as long as we are comfortable working together, the connection will continue," she explained.
"So I had many discussions with Prilly. I took some of her stories and incorporated them into the script. But the story about religious differences is related to society and very close to it," she concluded.
