JAKARTA - For actress Imelda Therine, being involved in the Shiratal Mustaqim Bridge film project is not just a job, but a journey that drains physical stamina as well as touches her spiritual side.

He shared his extraordinary experiences, ranging from technical challenges on the ground to deep reflections on life, family, and accountability.

From the start, the director had warned that the shooting process of this film would demand strong physical resilience. The warning proved to be true on set where the terrain was not easy.

"The experience is extraordinary, yes, because of the challenging, the challenge is on the terrain. There are many technicalities. So we need, what, strong stamina, yes, physical," said Imelda Therine in the South Jakarta area, Wednesday, October 1.

He continued, "Eh, from the start, Mas Bondi had said, 'This film will be in the afternoon, Mel, will be blusukan and yes, thank God it went smoothly because I also like blusukan, like adventure'."

In addition to challenging terrain, the reverse shooting schedule is also a separate test. "It's just that in terms of filming, we turn the clock around. So it's quite a challenging night chase," he added.

Beyond physical challenges, the title of the film itself has provided spiritual "sentilane" for Imelda since it was first offered.

The concept of the Shiratal Mustaqim Bridge, which is so well known in Islamic faith, sparked curiosity as well as a little fear in him. This feeling takes him to a reflection point.

"Pritual sih, eh pertama kali aku disodorin judulnya saja aku sudah cukup kayak, langsung kesentil begitu. Hah? Seperti apa ya, begitu," kenangnya.

"How about the challenge, how can we be at, at, at the bridge point, eh, between curiosity but fear too," continued Imelda Therine.

However, this curiosity was defeated by the power of the story offered. For Imelda, the power of the narrative is the main reason to be involved in a film project.

"It's just because of the story itself, I always see a film from a strong story and I think it's worth fighting for," he said.

Apart from Imelda Therinne, this film also stars Agus Kuncoro, this film also stars Raihan Khan, Mike Lucock, Rory Ashari, and Eduward Manalu. It is planned that this film will start airing on October 9.
