This competition was held at the end of November.
With their new movie 'Hijau', they successfully managed to beat hundreds of other participants from various countries.

The filming locations were mostly taken on Mount Bromo. At that time, the Bromo land was burned down some time ago. Her team took scenes of planting tree seedlings to show the reforestation process to the community. "In addition, we also featured several scenes showing the situation of Mount Bromo, which was burned down.
Dhila, her nickname, also mentioned that they filmed in a local house. The filming took about two days, and the editing took one week.
"Our short movie is about six minutes long. Although it went well, we had a hard time finding the main talent, which is a child. However, due to various connections and acquaintances from Maharesigana, we finally found a suitable child for the role," said Dhila.

He emphasized that the short movie they had produced was quite different from the other participants. The other teams made videos that tended to be educational media, but Maharesigana made a short movie with a storyline full of messages that could be conveyed. According to her, this might be a consideration for them to win the award.
Although they had to work hard, she and her team felt very grateful for the knowledge they gained in Maharesigana through a short movie. "The knowledge and experience we have during our time as a Maharesigana team can be transferred well in this short movie. Hopefully, it can be an informative media for the community to protect nature to ensure that our children and grandchildren can enjoy it too," she concluded. (ri/wil/put)
