Ho Wi Ding Shooting ‘Mothernet,’ AI Cautionary Tale From Indonesia, Singapore


Production is under way on 'Mothernet,' a drama film from Indonesia and Singapore that serves as a cautionary tale about AI.

Set in Indonesia’s near future, “Mothernet” is a poignant family drama centered around 16-year-old Rama who is trying to navigate life after a tragic accident leaves his mother in a coma. Indonesian actors Dian Sastrowardoyo (Netflix series “Cigarette Girl”) and Ringgo Agus Rahman (“Falling in Love Like in Movies”), portray the adult leads. “[I] loved the script because not only is it an exceptional cautionary tale about humans’ attachment to technology, but it also touches on a family dynamic that [I’m] already well-experienced with,” said Taiwan-based Malaysian director Ho.
