Ryan Adriandhy

Ryan Adriandhy has carved out a pretty eclectic path in the film world—definitely not your run-of-the-mill credits here. The guy’s name pops up on projects you probably didn’t expect to be connected, from the offbeat comedy “Marmut Merah Jambu” back in 2014 (that’s “Pink Guinea Pig” for those who skipped Bahasa class), which cranked up the nostalgia and awkward teen vibes to eleven, all the way to “Prognosis” in 2019, a film that steers hard into more introspective territory. You kinda get the sense this dude doesn’t like to repeat himself. Then you hit “Domikado” (2022), and it’s like he’s switched gears again, diving into a whole different flavor—imagine a blend of quirky storytelling and sharp wit, with just a dash of that Indonesian charm that sneaks up on you. There’s a pattern to his work: he digs into human relationships, throws in a bit of social commentary, but never gets too preachy. His projects usually have a pulse, you know? They’re alive, with characters that feel like the people you actually know—messy, funny, sometimes annoying, but real as hell. In short, Ryan’s filmography is sort of a rollercoaster—one minute you’re laughing at some painfully honest coming-of-age mess, then next you’re deep into something that makes you stop and think for a second. He’s not afraid to poke fun at life’s absurdities, but there’s always a little heart tucked in there somewhere. Not bad for a guy who seems allergic to playing it safe.
