About the Filmmakers

Tintin Wulia

Born in Denpasar, Indonesia, Tintin Wulia is a qualified architect, film composer, and music teacher. However, having been introduced to filmmaking through her digital media employment in 1996, she prefers to dedicate her talents to the art of experimental filmmaking.

In 2000, her short film Violence Against Fruits (2000) won the Kuldesak Award for Best Conceptual Film at the Indonesian Festival of Independent Film and Video. Her evocative travel documentary, Are You Close Enough (2000) was the Editors' Pick on Eveo.com's Launching Competition in 2000. Both films were recently screened on SBS TV's Eatcarpet (2001 and 2002) after being part of Germany's Oberhausen Film Market 2001.

She has composed, sound-designed, and performed for music/experimental performances, mostly in Indonesia. Her scoring credits include the feature Jakarta Project (2001, dir. Indra Ramadhan), the Canadian short The Long Road Home (2001), and various television projects. Warner Music Indonesia released her soundtrack album for the feature Jakarta Project in 2001.

In 2002, she has teamed up with Melbourne percussionist/filmmaker Ariel Valent to produce Slambangricketychuck and other short films, including Superheroes in Marketing (2002, col. Alexander/Valent/Wulia/Vickery).
