Starting from a Hobby of Exploring, Actress Prisia Nasution Makes a Film Located in Glodok

Kapanlagi.com - The Jakarta World Cinema Week event is held for the second time. This year, a film directed by actress Prisia Nasution titled MELUKIS LUKA will be premiered.

Prisia revealed that the idea for this film came after she visited the Glodok area in West Jakarta. She saw something hidden behind the place where people sell electronic goods.

"I love to explore. When I visited Glodok, I realized that this place is not only for selling electronics, because when I entered, I felt like there were many wounds there. The beautiful houses there must have belonged to rich people in the past, but now they are old and occupied by elderly people," said Prisia when met at FX Sudirman, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (19/10/2023).

From there, Prisia Nasution tried to conduct research by asking people around Glodok. Unfortunately, she couldn't get many statements. However, from there she felt that the local community had made peace with the situation.

"I wondered if this condition was related to the past tragedy. After asking around, many people didn't want to talk. Not because they were afraid to uncover the past, but because they have made peace with it. In the end, this film became a fictional story, I only adapted the feeling from past events," explained the 39-year-old woman.

2. Funded by Falcon Pictures

After conducting research and writing the story, Prisia Nasution did not expect that the production house Falcon Pictures would be interested in funding the film MELUKIS LUKA. Then the film was produced with Bio One and Rachel Amanda as the cast.

"I was born and raised in South Jakarta, I didn't know anything about Glodok. That's why when I visited Tea House, I found something interesting. After the story was offered and approved by Falcon, we finally started," Prisia said.
