Pinka & Biru

Saya tinggal di Cempaka Putih, Jakarta Pusat. Polusi? Jangan ditanya. Kawasan pun sudah padat. Tapi, setiap pagi ketika saya shalat subuh, masih bisa terdengar kicau burung gereja dan burung lain yang saya tidak tahu apa. Rasanya tenteram banget. Mereka masih suka hinggap di atap balkon depan jendela kamar saya dan nangkring di tali tiang listrik seperti Pinka dan Biru itu.

Sampai kapan mereka akan menemani saya ketika "curhat" dengan Kekasihku? Ada pohon mangga besar yang berusia lebih tua dari saya (mungkin sudah 25 tahun). Semoga pemilik rumah tetap mempertahankan pohon itu supaya saya masih bisa menikmati nyanyian burung-burung mungil di pagi hari.

P.S: Stop Illegal Logging

Dibalik Layar "GARIS MATI"

16 Agustus 2K8
Day ‘til night
Kampus merah putih

Jam 09.00 saya terbangun karena pesan pendek di ponsel dari Octi. Katanya masih diperlukan orang-orang untuk meramaikan dan mengisi di frame film pendek ini di kampus. Wah, heran. Anak-anak MP kan narsisnya luar biasa. Tumben kekurangan orang. Awalnya saya urung datang karena siang ini ada 2 janji yang harus saya tepati. Tapi, toh akhirnya, saya datang karena dimana ada keramaian pasti ada adel (bohong, ding!).

Singkat cerita, tujuan utamanya film ini ditayangkan ketika Jambore Fikom 08. Sisanya, mau dipasang di XXI *tampang datar*. Semangat bendera mandiri a.k.a independenlah pokoknya. Sebenarnya, saya bukan fotografer untuk mendokumentasikan dibalik layar film ini. Seperti yang saya bilang, saya hanya seorang dari tim hura-hura. Jadi, yang berkapasitas lebih untuk mempromosikan film ini anggota Media Publica angkatan 2006-2007. Mereka yang sudah pontang-panting memproduksi film pendek ini. Kami-kami ini (baca: senior) membantu apa yang bisa kami bantu selama itu hal positif.

Tapi yang pasti, film ini ‘owkeyy’ karena dibantu figuran yang tak diragukan lagi profesionalnya. Hahaha. Sekali gitu, ternyata bagian saya kepotong karena saya masuk hanya dua scene kalau tak salah. Ah, biar! Pak produser, honor saya mana neeehhhh…??? :-)
