Testimonials
Mbak Kartika Wijaya Pratama
Campaign Director, Environmental NGO Indonesia · Mampang-Kemang HQ, South Jakarta · February 2026
“Our Jakarta-based environmental NGO (regional Yayasan HQ with multi-island field offices) launched a flagship campaign about marine plastic waste conservation in Sumba + Raja Ampat for Q1 2026 donor cultivation. Used the Festival Documentary package with Fotofusi Jakarta for an 18-minute bilingual ID/EN short doc. The Fotofusi team spent 3 weeks in Sumba + Raja Ampat capturing authentic marine conservation footage + marine biologist + community leader interviews (informed consent + community elder approval handled professionally). The documentary entered Eagle Awards 2026 (honorable mention), official selection at FFD Yogyakarta, official screening at Sumba Hospitality Foundation event in Singapore, got national media coverage (Kompas/Tempo) + international Mongabay. APAC institutional donor engagement up 4x within 3 months post-release, USD 2.5M grant pipeline secured.”
