"How to balance budget control with the demands of authenticity in war films is a unique challenge," said Celerina.

She emphasized the importance of presenting authentic and credible visuals without turning the film into a documentary. A great enthusiasm was evident among the participants, which included students from ISI Yogyakarta, lecturers, and other film enthusiasts.

They actively asked questions and discussed the challenges in producing war films, particularly related to budget management and the visual presentation of historical facts.

2. Show Commitment

“Materials like this are rarely discussed in depth, yet they are very important for the film production process, especially those requiring historical detail,” expressed one of the event participants.

Through its involvement in the JAFF Market, Bahagia Tanpa Drama shows its commitment to supporting the Indonesian film industry, both through the works they are developing and by sharing knowledge. Their presence serves as proof that production management is an essential foundation in creating quality works.

Not only showcasing services, Bahagia Tanpa Drama also inspires the younger generation to better understand the complexities of film production. Celerina hopes that sharing sessions like this can encourage further professionalism in the domestic film industry. “We want to share experiences so that the next generation can be better prepared to face challenges in film production,” she concluded.
