AKARTA: Mira Lesmana says that if the Indonesian government is serious about developing local creative industries, it should turn to South Korea as a model.
The producer of Ifa Isfansyah's upcoming action film Pendekar Tongkat Emas (Golden Stick Warrior) said that officials in South Korea used movies to attract tourists to particular regions.
'The local administrations are racing to have filmmakers shoot in their area,' Mira said, as quoted by tribunnews.com on Monday. 'They offer facilities such as fire trucks, hospital and tax rebates, even.'
Mira said that she hoped that the planned Creative Industry Agency to be set up by President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo would take heed.
