The latest family comedy film from Imajinari Pictures titled KAKA BOSS recently held a preview screening on Saturday, August 17, 2024. Ernest Prakasa, the producer of the film, felt satisfied to see the positive response from the public towards the film that tells the story of people from Eastern Indonesia.

According to Ernest, the event was not part of a long-term strategy. The promotional team for the film KAKA BOSS deliberately chose the date of August 17, which is associated with various competitions, to capitalize on that momentum.

“That came from a routine meeting, we thought of making a competition for the early screening of Kaka Boss. So it was indeed taking advantage of the momentum, coincidentally August 17 is also a Saturday,” said Ernest in an exclusive interview held in the Pasar Minggu area on Monday, August 19, 2024.

"The feeling we got was truly amazing, I feel very relieved. Usually, before the movie premieres, there is always a feeling of tension and curiosity about how the audience will respond. After the 17th, when I was in Medan while Kaka Boss was screened in Samarinda and Arie was in Jakarta, I felt relieved is the most appropriate word to describe my feelings," explained Ernest Prakasa expressing his satisfaction after the event.

Ernest admitted that this relief came because the film successfully touched the hearts of the audience.

"I feel relieved because it turns out we are not happy alone. Seeing the audience laugh and some even shed tears, I feel this film succeeded in conveying the emotions we wanted."

"Seeing the audience leave the cinema with happy and emotional expressions makes me confident that Arie has made this film very well," said Ernest.

Arie Kriting, as the director and screenwriter of the film KAKA BOSS, appeared very emotional and shed tears while witnessing the audience's response that far exceeded his expectations.

"This project is very emotional for me. This is the first time this film has met the audience directly. We haven't had a premiere yet, but we've already met with friends first," Arie expressed at a special screening event in Jakarta, as seen in a video uploaded by Imajinari on August 18, 2024.

"While working on this project, I often wondered, 'Can we, the Eastern people, create works like this?," Arie shared, pouring out the doubts he experienced during the filmmaking process, referring to the initial goal of making the film to challenge the negative stigma against Eastern people.

"Through KAKA BOSS, I want to show that we, the Eastern people, can struggle and achieve professionally," he added.

The film KAKA BOSS, directed and written by Arie Kriting, tells the story of a family from Eastern Indonesia living in Jakarta. The story centers around the character Kaka Boss, played by Godfred Orindeod, who strives to become a singer to make his daughter, Angel, played by Glory Hillary, happy. Ferdinand's main goal is for his daughter not to feel ashamed of her father's profession. The film's crew and cast hope the audience's enthusiasm can be maintained leading up to the official screening of the film scheduled for Thursday, August 29, 2024.

In commemoration of the 79th anniversary of Indonesia's Independence Day, a sneak preview event for the comedy film KAKA BOSS was held in five major cities in Indonesia: Jakarta, Medan, Makassar, Semarang, and Samarinda. Although this event covers several cities, the scale of the film screening is intentionally limited to only be shown in cinemas with small capacities.

“We really can’t wait to show it to the audience and are very curious about how the audience will respond,” said Ernest.

“So this is indeed to satisfy our curiosity about how the audience's response will be. It's not something massive, because we are intentionally saving it for later on August 29, to keep people curious,” he continued.
