Both the cast and crew hope their collaboration will be in the form of the film Aum! This can be accepted by Indonesian film connoisseurs. Moreover, you could say this film has its own uniqueness compared to other films so it is worth waiting for its screening.
"This film reminds us and questions the goals of reform 98. We hope that all of us, across generations, will remember the goals of reform 98, one of which is about freedom of speech in the form of films," said Jefri during a virtual press conference, Friday, September 24.
Jefri also admitted that he was proud to be able to play with Chicco. "It's also an honor for me to be able to collaborate with two great actors like Chicco and Jefry. Hopefully this will provide an alternative to a different viewing experience," explained Bambang “Ipoenk” KM, the director of this film.
Continuing the hope of the director, Jefri Nichol as one of the players also expressed his hopes about this new film. "This film is different from the films I've starred in before, let alone being able to compete acting with Chicco Jerikho. I feel challenged to play two characters at once in this film. Moreover, this film tells a lot about our current condition. In this film we can see how young people struggle to express their own opinion. Hopefully it can be an entertaining spectacle," said Jefri.
In addition to the unique story, the screening of the Aum! In Online Cinema this time is also fairly unusual. This film is the first collaboration with Online Cinema with Layar Tantjap Film.
