He noted that the country’s large young population and fast-growing digital content ecosystem make it one of the most attractive markets in Asia.
While the inaugural project will feature Indonesian actors, both companies indicated that future productions could include South Korean talent.
They also expressed interest in expanding their collaboration beyond film into other areas of the entertainment industry.
Through this strategic alliance, Trois Films and JJan E&M aim to create content that resonates not only with audiences in Indonesia and South Korea, but also with viewers across the global market. (Silvia Andriani)
