Beyond mediocrity, living in a small city that is quite far from those related ‘industries’ makes him wonder why he took Film Studies in the first place. However, from years of studies, hustle, and wander brought him to Documentary as his longing answer to be with.

Despite the niche that is commonly near with exclusivity from these current industries. The documentary still got him pumped up to see what actual things happened. It is somehow dragging him to sum it up and want to deliver it as a narrative medium to the people who are also on the same foot.

So yeah, he could stitch the story from the surroundings and deliver it to everyone who also has the same feelings. It's more than just ‘9 to 5 jobs’ for him.

Eva is our youngest here. She's been joining us since she was 18. She doesn't like math, yet her work is dealing with calculations and reports. But learning from this, she's become the organized one when it comes to making reports. She will make sure everything is in order, valid, and detailed, quite a perfectionist we can say.

She's also one of our transcribers. Though she stays in the office, she can follow many stories and get much different knowledge by getting into our footage. Eva is everyone's little sister. She's cheerful, lovely, and a little bit mischievous.
