Petak Umpet Minako is an Indonesian movie based on Indonesian best selling survival horror novel. The story is about young people who held a school reunion and plays a highly known Japanese hide and seek alone Hitori Kakurenbo.

From concept to execution. Waktu gue membayangkan design konsepnya, gue mau sesuatu yang intim as the story is about relationship (human with human and human with non-human), tapi bisa bikin orang mikir atau memicu interaksi orang yg melihat, tapi juga creepy at the same time.

Jadi gue mencoba beberapa expression, tapi yang kalian lihat ini lah yg menurut gue the best on who can represent the story well.
