SYNOPSIS
Ahmad–a closeted gay Muslim man–finds out that his boyfriend has just passed away as he is about to celebrate his 25th birthday with his mother and close friends at home. Ahmad tries to get out of the house and deal with himself, but every single time, he is unable to do so as he has to keep pretending that everything is okay in front of them. As the day goes by, Ahmad finds it harder and harder to keep everything bottled up inside.
Kurnia Alexander
Ever since he was mesmerized by the world he was sucked into when he watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone at the age of 6, Kurnia Alexander had always known that he wanted to be a filmmaker until he started making films in elementary school using Windows Movie Maker--
even though he rarely finished them. He got into Universitas Indonesia where his friends made him their “designated filmmaker” that he eventually won his first film competition at his Faculty’s Olimpiade Budaya for Ada yang Salah dengan Ray.
After college, Kurnia continued creating short films released mostly on YouTube and Viddsee such as Pada Ambang, Andai, and Mitos Kampus. Kurnia also started to meet other people with similar interests through social media. Among them are Azzam Fi Rullah and Alzein Putra Merdeka, an
underground directing-duo from Kolong Sinema. Kurnia eventually produced four of their short films including Kesurupan Erotik, Sebuah Film Karya Setan, Noda Ranjang Membekas, and Kuburan Berjalan.
