Bio

Originating from the hustle and bustle of the city ​of Jakarta, Indonesia. Albert Suwasa is a prolific ​filmmaker renowned for his simplistic cinematic ​style. Unveiling the depths of the everyday ​mundane that often overlooked by most people ​and then turn it into a beautiful art form. With a ​unique ability to tackle a lot of genres, Albert’s ​films are a rollercoaster of suspense, romance, ​drama, and even a bitter comedy. Taking the mind ​of the viewer into a self reflection journey on how ​we live life to the fullest.

My approach

I am always fascinated by how a simple story in an ​ordinary place can turn into an extraordinary ​cinema. My approach to crafting compelling and ​unforgettable story is rooted in my passion and ​urge for recreating things that fascinate me. When ​you watch a film and you hear the dialogue, and ​look at the visual. And slowly the story reveal ​itself, suddenly you feel the immersive ​experiences that will leave a lasting impact on your ​life. I look forward to continuing to craft compelling ​stories that challenge, entertain, and push the ​boundaries of the cinema.
