Budi Sumarno

I am Budi Sumarno, a film practitioner currently writing several books such as *Cinema Therapy*, *Moviepreneur*, *Don’t Be Afraid to Make Short Films with a Smartphone*, *Film as Symbolism*, and *Cinema Therapy: Reviving the Spirit and Providing Space for Disabilities*.

The book I am currently working on, *Cinema Therapy*, focuses on a digital-based therapy approach that references various films, both international and Indonesian, which can be utilized as therapeutic tools. This effort aims to position films not only as a source of entertainment but also as a means of mental therapy for the general public and people with disabilities.

To support this, I hope to collaborate with parties providing films that contain therapeutic elements. This collaboration would allow readers of the book to access the films mentioned within it and watch them in their entirety as part of the digital therapy process. I envision this partnership as mutually beneficial, as book owners would pay to watch these films, creating value for both the audience and the content providers.

Through this initiative, I aspire for the *Cinema Therapy* book to benefit OTT platform owners by promoting their films while also establishing them as therapeutic media tools.

**In the spirit of cinema,**
Budi Sumarno
