"Rio, Angga, and I really like the story of Filosofi Kopi. Up to this very day, there are still people who'd like to know more stories about Ben & Jodi. Hence, we made a movie prequel in the format of a web series that will narrate the beginning of the Filosofi Kopi coffee shop," said Chicco during the Visinema Pictures press conference.
Filosofi Kopi is a movie adaptation of a 2006 short story by Indonesian author Dewi 'Dee' Lestari. The movie was screened in film festivals in China, South Korea, as well as at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival in Taiwan. It also won Best Ensemble Cast award at the World Premiere Film Festival in Manila, the Philippines.
Other than the web series, a sequel to the film version of the story is also slated to start filming in 2017.
