Kapanlagi.com - Indonesian Composer, Elwin Hendrijanto is involved in an animated film project produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. Elwin Hendrijanto announced his involvement in the Hollywood feature animation production titled “Ozi: Voice of the Forest” produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.

“I learned a lot from collaborating with Richard Harvey on this film,” Elwin stated in a written statement on Friday (23/8).

By presenting a Hollywood orchestral atmosphere combined with ethnic or world music, it has been Elwin's dream throughout his career journey.

“I think the opportunity to introduce Indonesian music to the Hollywood film music scene has not happened much because musically, they might find it hard to connect because they have never heard that music before,” he said.

"However, I am grateful that through this project I can make that breakthrough while realizing my dream of bringing the nuances of Indonesian music to audiences around the world," he added.

In addition, the film “Ozi: Voice of the Forest” is scheduled to be released globally on August 16, 2024. This film also features big names as voice actors, including Amandla Stenberg, Donald Sutherland, Djimon Hounsou, RuPaul, and Laura Dern.
