Joko Anwar (born 3 January 1976) is an Indonesian movie director, screenwriter, producer, actor and editor.
Early life
Joko Anwar was born on January 3, 1976 in a poor village in Medan, North Sumatra, and grew up watching kung fu and horror films. Since junior high school, he has also written and directed drama performances. Joko then attended the Bandung Institute of Technology to study aviation engineering, because his parents could not afford to send him to film school. After graduating in 1999, he became a journalist at The Jakarta Post and later a film critic.[1]
Career
While interviewing Nia Dinata for The Jakarta Post, the film producer and director was very impressed with Joko and asked him to write his film project which later became known as Arisan! (2003). The film was a huge success both commercially and critically and won several awards at home and abroad including "Best Film" at the 2004 Indonesian Film Festival and "Best Movie" at the MTV Indonesia Movie Awards in 2004.[2][3][4][5]
