LASJA FAUZIA
the amazing director
|
 |
Tottering her seventh month baby belly while
directing in this project, she looks anything but
burdened. She was very relaxed despite the
nervous and sometimes overly cautious crew. |
During the directors’ photo session recently, she
still managed to do a photo shoot on the 6th
floor building sans elevator. Lasja started her
career in film by assisting some of the prolific
Indonesian directors. She made countless
music videos for
Indonesian great
