Pandemic Forces Dian Sastrowardoyo to Do Something New, Learn to Write Film Scripts - Become a Director

Kapanlagi.com - The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic can be felt by all layers of society, including the beautiful actress Dian Sastrowardoyo. In the midst of all the limitations and changes during the pandemic, this 38-year-old woman is grateful because she can take advantage of the opportunities available.

Although she now spends more time at home, Dian Sastro doesn't just sit still. The star of the movie WHAT'S WITH LOVE? is trying various new things that she has never done before due to her busy schedule as a top actress, such as taking a scriptwriting course.

"2020 brought me many opportunities. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So here's the story... At the beginning of the pandemic and social restrictions, I was forced to stay at home and became bored and restless. That forced me to do something." Something new that I've never tried before. I enrolled in an online screenwriting course for 3.5 months. Then, after graduating and starting to understand the basics of scriptwriting, I dared to write a script," said Dian Sastro through her Instagram post.

"While writing the outline for the script, I was challenged to write a short film script. I accepted the challenge before I really knew if I could do it or not. Just being reckless at first. With the creative supervision of @base.id holding my hand until I finished writing the script," she added.

1. First Time

The name Dian Sastro as an actress is not unfamiliar in the Indonesian film industry. However, for the first time, her name is not among the cast of a new film that she is working on herself.

"Then we entered the pre-production process. It's the first time I experienced that process not as an actor. It turns out there are many more tasks and much more work to be done before we invite actors to join the project. Everything has to be ready until finally, I dared to invite my own friend @adiniawrst to collaborate on this project. The intensive reading process took place online, and the process was very rewarding," said the woman born on March 16, 1982.

2. Becoming the Production Captain

Being behind the scenes for the first time is certainly a memorable experience for Dian Sastro. Especially because she was involved in the making of the film from beginning to end.

"During filming, I once again dared to become the captain of this production, where all the Head Of Departments worked beyond my expectations, making the director's job more focused on arranging all the elements of this film. So that's the story, friends, currently the film is in the post-production process, pray for its smooth progress," said Dian Sastro.

3. Expressing Gratitude

There is a lesson that can be learned from this ongoing pandemic. Like Dian Sastro, who always expresses gratitude for the opportunity to try new things and continue to be creative.

"2020, a year that repeatedly taught me to be grateful and be grateful again. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for the trust. Thank you for the beautiful collaboration, my friends... thank you," she concluded.

4. Don't Forget

Dian Sastro's story of trying something new in the midst of the pandemic is truly inspiring and worth imitating, KLovers. But, don't forget to always remember #pesanibu by always wearing a mask, washing hands with soap, maintaining distance, and avoiding crowds, okay!
