JAKARTA - Michelle Ziudith returned to the big screen through the film Puang Bos which will premiere on November 14 in theaters. The 29-year-old actress plays Pertiwi, the heir to the most extensive na'nasa wooden tree land in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi. He co-starred with Ibrahim Risyad as Dewa ucci, the heir to the phinisi shipbuilding business.

In addition to the two names above, the film, produced by Megti Media Film and directed by Adink Liwutut, also stars Arif Brata, Pritt Timothy, Gilberth Pattiruhu, Zoe Levana, Cahyary Nagara, stroker Stress, Abdul Rodjak, Zulfadhilah, and Zulfadhini.

Michelle Ziudith said the cast had made a total appearance for the film Puang Bos. They were shooting live in Bulukumba for 26 days.

Not without reason when the cast had to shoot far from Jakarta, at the southern end of Sulawesi Island. The production team wants the story displayed on Puang Bos, played with a real background.

"We shoot in Bulukumba, that's where the phinisi ship was built directly. Indeed, it has been there for generations," said Michelle Ziudith during a press conference at Epicentrum Kuningan, South Jakarta, Thursday, November 7.

Not only the place where the phinisi ship was built, but Michelle also said that Bulukumba is the place where the na'nasa wooden tree grows, which is the raw material for the ship.

"So, we really shot in the Bulukumba," said Michelle.

Meggy Tribuana as Executive Producer agrees with what Michelle said. He wanted to present a different film, which gave a message of how great Nusantara culture is.

"We chose Puang Bos because we want to present a story that is different from usual, because here there is (the story about) the phinisi ship, and there are messages," said Meggy.

Not only real backgrounds, Michelle Ziudith, Ibrahim Risyad, and several other actors are also required to recite dialogue in the local language.

In this film, we use full Makassar and its accent, automatically there will be subtitles. So I really hope that people from other cities can receive local wisdom in this film," said Michelle.

"What is certain is that we have tried our best to try to speak Makassar. Maybe there are one and two sentences or accents that are not that perfect, but because there is Arif Brata (which was born and raised in Makassar), so we are smoother," said Ibrahim.
