Nyoman, our hero, is the loneliest person he knows and has given up on the idea of ever finding love. Not even the moonlit escapades with his friends, nor the beauty that surrounds him can seem to lift his spirits. Until one night, pushed by despair, he curses at the moon and blames her for his fate. The next morning, Nyoman discovers his house has been shaken by an earthquake, and something unthinkable has grown in his garden…  <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/506287/andy_FR1-1523601983.jpeg" />  THE LEGEND  In our story, the island and the moon are characters of their own. It’s a magical place where nature governs over people and influences their everyday life. Since the oldest times, the Balinese have looked up to the sky in search of answers to age-old philosophical questions. The Moon has an important role in balinese culture, from being the basis of the calendar to guiding people’s behaviors. The cycle of the moon represents the cycle of light and dark inherent in humans. The moon serves as a reminder to remain vigilant of ourselves and our surroundings…   <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/503968/our_cast-1523006580.jpg" />  ARIO BAYU "NYOMAN" <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/503970/bayu_blue_-1523006891.jpg" /> Ario is a remarkable Indonesian actor. From the Globe Theatre in London where he mastered his acting craft, to portraying Indonesia's first president Soekarno in a highly applauded film of its same name, Ario has starred in acclaimed independent films as well as immense blockbusters in Indonesia and around the world. He is one of the most passionate and talented actor we've ever worked with and we are extremely grateful that he will be our hero, "Nyoman".  VALENTINE PAYEN "THE GIRL" <img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/504029/VAL_VAL_VAL-1523011680.jpg" /> Valentine is a sublime french rising star.

I’m still overwhelmed.  Films have the ability to make me feel better, instantly. I have always been amazed by the venture that is making a movie : all the extraordinary people that come together, give their time, their effort and their passion to bring a story that was once on paper, into celluloid and finally to the screen. And in this particular case, also bringing different cultures from different backgrounds together, all pushing in the same direction towards the same goal. I am fascinated by how what starts as a simple thought in someone’s head, can become a work of art that can move the spirits of thousands... It is truly a beautiful thing. To have the chance to direct my own idea, to be on a set, with actors and equipment and a professional team, fills me with joy and love for the profession I chose. If I am able to bring you, during the time of this short film, some of the feelings I have when I watch a movie I love, I would have accomplished my biggest dream.FRANGIPANI RISING is a film I simply cannot wait to make, to see, and to show you. I love the story and the characters and the setting. I love that it’s a magical story, and I love that it gives hope.I am so thankful for your trust, for your support that is ACTUALLY MAKING this movie, and I hope with all my heart, that I will be able to make you proud. Andrea
