Gita Miaji

Gita Miaji isn’t just a name floating around in indie film circles—she’s made her mark with some wild projects that don’t exactly follow the usual playbook. Gundik (2025) is her upcoming one, and there’s already a buzz. No one’s quite sure what to expect, but if you’ve caught her earlier work, you know she’s not showing up with some bland, cookie-cutter story. I (2021) and Survive (2021) really put her on the map—both totally different beasts, by the way. I is weird and kind of hypnotic, not your average drama. It dips into that heady space where you’re not sure if you’re watching someone’s memories or nightmares. The storytelling gets tangled up in the main character’s obsession and spirals into this almost fever-dream vibe. It’s not a movie you just play in the background. You’re in or you’re out, basically. Survive, on the other hand, has this raw, tense edge. The stakes feel real, like you could actually cut the tension with a knife. Miaji doesn’t hold back with her characters—they’re all battered, flawed, and sometimes you don’t even like them, but you can’t stop watching. She has this knack for flipping a story on its head and making you root for someone you didn’t expect to care about. So, with Gundik on the horizon, everyone’s waiting to see what curveballs she throws next. Miaji’s films might not be the most mainstream, but they stick with you. That’s rare.
