'PULUNG GANTUNG PATI NGENDAT' Presents the Phenomenon of Hanging in Gunungkidul, Spiced with Stories of Adventure and Friendship

Chiska Doppert as the director shared an interesting fact about the choice of shooting location that is rarely used. In fact, no locals wanted to come to that location due to the difficult access.

"We deliberately chose to shoot in a place that has not been touched, and has not even been used by other films. The goal is for this film to have visual appeal that showcases the natural beauty of Gunungkidul," said Chiska Doppert. 

"Every detail in this film, from the setting to the sound design, is crafted to provide a thrilling and unforgettable viewing experience," he continued. 

Producer Shankar R.S also added his opinion about the film PULUNG GANTUNG PATI NGENDAT during the Press Conference at Epicentrum.

"Through this film, we want to convey the message that suicide is not a solution to overcome problems. Especially linking the reality that occurs with myths that may not necessarily be true. If you have problems, don't keep them to yourself until they lead to depression. We hope that through the film Pulung Gantung, the community can become aware not to continuouslybelieve in negative things," he said.

Rama B Tribudiman as the Executive Producer also gave his response about the film PULUNG GANTUNG PATI NGENDAT which takes the myth of Pulung Gantung in Gunungkidul.

"From the very beginning of the story development process, we have emphasized that this film will not fully follow the myths believed by the community. We want the audience to gain positive values after watching this film in theaters," he said.

Not to be missed, there is Boy Rano from Bravo Romeo Production who also expressed his hopes for the community that wants to watch the film PULUNG GANTUNG PATI NGENDAT.

"Behind its horror genre, this film also carries a moral message about respecting the rules and prohibitions that exist in every region. We hope this film can inspire the audience to better respect and maintain their attitude when in a new place," he said.

In addition to Andrew Barrett, Nadia Bulan Sofya, Michael Russell, and Annisa Aurelia Kaila, PULUNG GANTUNG PATI NGENDAT stars Egi Fedly as Karsidi, Indra Pacique as Prasetyo, and Adelia Rasya as Marlina.
