Darma is a visceral and unflinching short film that confronts the dark realities of abuse and power. With its brutal and blood-soaked sequences, the film delivers gripping action that heightens adrenaline, supported by dynamic and precise camera movements. At its core, Darma explores sexual abuse committed by those in positions of authority, individuals who not only perpetrate violence but also manipulate systems to conceal their crimes. The narrative also reflects on the power of media in shaping public opinion, and how such coverage can deeply affect the psychological state of survivors. With a runtime of 14 minutes, Darma is both urgent and impactful, pulling the audience into an uncomfortable yet necessary confrontation with truth, silence, and justice.

Kisah Nadira follows the lifelong connection between Nadira and Andy, two high school friends whose unspoken feelings shape their lives across decades. As missed chances, distance, and other relationships keep pulling them apart, Andy continues to love Nadira in silence, through letters never read and confessions never spoken. Spanning youth, adulthood, and loss, the story reflects on enduring love, timing, and the quiet sacrifices made when loving someone means letting them go.
