Production Designers
Visionary production designers creating immersive worlds inspired by Indonesia's ancient temples, Balinese ceremonial architecture, and volcanic tropical landscapes.
The production designer is the head of the art department, responsible for creating the entire visual environment of a film or television production. In Indonesia, this role draws on a vast archipelago of visual references — from the magnificent Borobudur and Prambanan temples to Bali's ceremonial compounds, Yogyakarta's kraton palaces, and the rice terraces that form the Cultural Landscape of Bali. Our designers understand how to translate these distinctive Indonesian settings into compelling screen worlds.
We connect you with production designers who bring deep local knowledge and international-level craft to every project. With access to Jakarta's studio facilities and Bali's growing international production infrastructure, our network ensures your production's visual world is built with the right resources, leveraging Indonesia's up to 30% film incentive.

Production Design Expertise
What's the difference between a production designer and art director?
The production designer is the head of the art department, responsible for the overall visual concept and working directly with the director. The art director reports to the production designer and oversees the execution of that vision — managing construction, coordinating the team, and handling day-to-day operations.
How do production designers work with Indonesian heritage sites?
Our production designers have extensive experience working with Indonesia's protected heritage sites, including Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, and the Cultural Landscape of Bali. They understand Ministry of Education and Culture permit requirements and restrictions on equipment near sacred sites.
Can you handle both studio builds and locations?
Yes, our production designers excel at combining studio construction in Jakarta with practical locations across Indonesia's 17,000+ islands. They design sets that match location work and adapt real spaces to serve your story's visual requirements.
What about period productions in Indonesia?
Our production designers have extensive experience with historical periods, drawing on Indonesia's Hindu-Buddhist temple architecture, Dutch colonial buildings, and Javanese court traditions. They work with local cultural advisors and artisans skilled in traditional construction techniques.
Do you provide the full art department?
Yes, we can staff complete art departments scaled to your production. This includes art directors, set decorators, prop masters, construction coordinators, and all supporting roles sourced from Indonesia's growing crew base.
How do production designers work with other departments?
Production designers collaborate closely with cinematography on lighting requirements, costume on visual palette, VFX on digital extensions, and locations on practical considerations. They're the visual hub coordinating all design elements.
