Program Note
Joni is a 22-year-old film deliverer in Jakarta. In the entire film making process from writing the script, funding, filming, editing, to the screening of films, he believes that film delivery is the hidden, but most important part. Joni′s promise is to keep these words, ′Sorry, please wait until the next reel comes, away from the screen. One day, the worst day in the history of film delivery comes and threatens to put a dent in his professional pride. Joni′s Promise is a comedy about an unlucky delivery day and it is a film about filming. On his way to deliver the film, Joni helps a pregnant woman deliver her child. After helping a woman with a robber, his film bag is robbed. A group of gangs chase him. A crazy artist attempts to burn the film. While Joni tries to deliver the film on time, a wildly diverse audience is divided into 10 different types. Joni′s love at first sight is among the audience. Can he deliver the film in time and fulfill his love at the same time? Director Joko Anwar says a film has the power to change a person′s life. Joni′s Promise is a confession of the director′s love toward film. The independent film, which was filmed in 20 days on the back streets of Jakarta, Joni′s Promise is the fulfillment of the director′s dream. (Kang So-won)
