“The reason why we chose Mount Bromo is to play a part in showing the beauty of nature, as well as the panoramic view of this tourism destination, which is one of Indonesia’s assets,” Erix Soekamti, actor and producer of the movie, said in an official statement.
“The usage of 360o format in the making of this movie is a form of innovation, utilizing technology to the maximum. It is also to maintain Endank Soekamti's commitment to always bring something fresh in our work.”
