Bio

Tintin Wulia was born in Bali, Indonesia (1972) and started dancing and making
music not long after. Enchanted by the sounds of scissors cutting through textiles,
she folded her skirt and cut tiny squares on it when she was still too young.
Since 1995 she has professionally done digital video editing, architecture and film
music composition before putting out her own films in 2000.

At present Tintin works with documentary and animation, playing around with the two
techniques to exploit reality to tell her stories. She looks forward to broaden her artistic
means while still doing her film projects and directing Minikino (http://minikino.org).
Like everyone else, Tintin dreams of meeting good people with fresh minds while
traveling from pole to pole - hoping not to be hampered by her passport.

[Tintin has a Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture from Universitas Katolik Parahyangan,
Bandung, Indonesia (1998), and a Bachelor of Music in Film Scoring from Berklee College
of Music, Boston, MA, USA (1997). She now lives and works in Melbourne/Australia,
and Bali/Indonesia.]


PS.
a note on my other quests in life, or,
how I earn, or,
how you can support my short filmmaking:

I can design your website,
subtitle your film in DV,
make a great short film especially for you,
edit your film,
or compose music for your film,
for a fee.

I can also give workshops for children and adults in the above matters.

Or you can just simply sponsor my next work,
and I'll bring your name and kindness around the world.
