Aside from "Village Goat Takes A Beating" and its 2007 companion piece "Playing With Elephants", as well as "Lukas’ Moment: A Journey Between Hope and Desperation" and "House No. 15", the University of Indonesia Associate Professor of Anthropology is working on his feature length ethnofiction film "Lelaki Yang Bertelur Emas" [The Man Who Lays Golden Eggs].

The University of Indonesia Associate Professor of Anthropology and head for the Digital Media and Visual Anthropology Lab provided little details on the film, which he said was “based on ethnographic stories in North Jakarta.”

But if his earlier work is any indication, there is little doubt that it is geared to take the documentary film world by storm.
