Hi, my name is Mahesa Ferdinan —
Though my friends call me Hesky. Pleased to meet you.

I am a New York-based filmmaker currently studying at the
Kanbar Institute of Film & Television, New York University.

I was born in Bogor and later raised in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital.

I aim to bring a cross-cultural lens to my work, blending Southeast Asian sensitivity with the edge of New York cinema.

I frequently draw on personal experience and memory for my work.

You can find more about my work over on LinkedIn or Instagram.
I post there fairly regularly

And if you're curious about what I've been watching, you can find me on Letterboxd — my favorites and current rotation are all there.
