What's happening in PresUniv
Two students of President University Rachel Viola Sienatra (Management 2018) dan Jevon Patrick Edberth (Information Technology 2018) have successfully brought Piala Padma 2019 home. Representing the Buddhist students community in President University called Keluarga Mahasiswa Buddhis Ashokavadana (KMBA) President University, Rachel and Jevon secured the first place for their short movie “Origami”. The competition was held by the Tripitaka Gatha Development Institute (LPTG). The trophy was awarded on Thursday (10/10) at Pusat Perfilman H. Usmar Ismail (PPHUI), South Jakarta.
Jevon, who acted as the scriptwriter and the director with Rachel who acted as the producer claimed that they did not expect to win this competition. "We are proud and very happy to win this competition. I am personally very grateful because through all the movie-making process, I gained a lot of new and interesting experiences,” Jevon explained.
The short movie Jevon and Rachel worked on for about two months illustrates the beauty of diversity. "This short movie was created due to the fact that there are still many people who do not appreciate diversity, even though diversity is beautiful," said Jevon. He and Rachel hope that through this movie, they can promote President University and encourage people to appreciate diversity. (SL)
Mahasiswa President University Boyong Piala Padma 2019
Dua mahasiswa President University Rachel Viola Sienatra (Manajemen 2018) dan Jevon Patrick Edberth (Teknik Informatika 2018) berhasil membawa pulang Piala Padma 2019. Mewakili Keluarga Mahasiswa Buddhis Ashokavadana (KMBA) President University, Rachel dan Jevon dinobatkan menjadi juara pertama atas karya film pendek berjudul “Origami” untuk lomba film pendek Buddhis kategori pelajar ini. Piala diberikan Kamis ( 10/10) malam di Pusat Perfilman H Usmar Ismail (PPHUI), Jakarta Selatan.
Jevon yang bertindak sebagai penulis naskah dan sutradara serta Rachel yang bertindak sebagai produser mengaku tidak menyangka dapat memenangkan perlombaan yang diadakan oleh Lembaga Pengembangan Tripitaka Gatha (LPTG) ini. “Yang pasti bangga dan tidak menyangka akan berhasil mendapatkan juara pertama. Saya juga merasa sangat bersyukur karena selama proses pembuatan film, banyak sekali pengalaman-pengalaman berharga yang saya dapatkan,” jelas Jevon.
Film pendek yang mereka garap selama kurang lebih dua bulan ini menggambarkan indahnya perbedaan. “Film pendek ini tercipta karena kenyataan bahwa masih banyak orang yang tidak menghargai perbedaan. Padahal perbedaan itu indah dan menyenangkan,” ujar Jevon. Ia dan Rachel berharap melalui film ini, mereka dapat membawa harum nama President University serta mengajak masyarakat untuk menghargai perbedaan. (SL)
