In 2018, Cemara's Family had its world premiere at the Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival, starring Ringgo Agus Rahman, Nirina Zubir, Adhisty Zara, and Widuri Puteri. The film was released theatrically on 3 January 2019 and became the year's seventh highest-grossing domestic film in Indonesia with 1,699,433 admissions. His second feature film, Falling In Love Like In Movies, a partially black-and-white romantic comedy film, had its world premiere at the 18th Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival. This was his second collaboration with Rahman and Zubir, after Cemara's Family. The film was theatrically released in Indonesia on 30 November 2023. It received eleven nominations at the 2024 Indonesian Film Festival, including Best Picture and Best Director.
