The company has already started with two films, "Ikatan Darah" and "Timur". The former is an Indonesian-language film that tells the story of a former martial arts athlete who faces a network of loan sharks to save her younger brother trapped in online gambling debt, while the latter is about the real-life international hostage crisis that took place in Mapenduma, Indonesia in 1996.
