Ofel Obaja Setiawan

Ofel Obaja Setiawan’s been making waves in the Indonesian film scene, and honestly, if you haven’t stumbled across his work yet, you’re probably missing out. He popped up in “Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film” back in 2023, this rom-com that just oozes that old-school, heart-fluttering vibe, but with a modern twist. Think awkward, relatable moments, plus that sweet spot between cheesy and genuinely touching. It’s the kind of movie you’d watch on a rainy Sunday and actually feel something, you know? Then there’s “Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari Ini” from 2020. Man, that one’s all about family, nostalgia, and those raw, unfiltered feelings people usually keep bottled up. The storytelling hits hard—jumps between timelines, little secrets unravel, and pretty soon you find yourself lowkey invested in these characters’ lives. Ofel brings this natural energy to the screen that doesn’t feel forced at all. He just gets it, the messy family dynamics, the love, the heartbreak—it all comes through. And, oh, don’t sleep on “Bad Guys” (set for 2025). There’s a lot of buzz around this one. While details are kind of under wraps, the previews hint at something darker and grittier than his previous stuff. Looks like he’s switching gears, maybe playing against type—or just flexing his range. Either way, there’s hype for a reason. Ofel’s career so far? Versatile, surprising, and honestly, just getting started. Keep an eye out.
