Last time, I (Anggi Siregar) try to ask Selly Keizer to know well about her Passion. Maybe, she is not teenagers at all now, but I think she had spirit when she was teenager. So, this is a review. A for Anggi Siregar and S for Selly Keizer.

Name               : Selly Keizer Effendy

Age                : 42 years old (29 May 1970)

Work               : Writer

Passion Field   : Author and Script writer

A         : Can you told us the beginning of your desire to pursue this field?

S          : When I worked in a bank in Indonesia, sometimes I tried to follow modelling contest and became extras in one of Production House of Dewi Yul and Ray Sahetapy’s movie. I like to ask Mr. Ray about how to make movies script, and he gave me a lot of examples of scenarios that he played. I started learning from those scripts. Then, I tried to bring my own scenario to Multivision Plus Production House. Amazing, they interested with my scenario and gave me a chance to write scenario of “Jin&Jun”, “Tuyul&Mbak Yul”, “Pak Kapten”, “Gara2 Plus”, and etc. Beside Multivision Plus, I also wrote some scripts for Millenium Visitama Films (“Mr. Hologram”), Prima Entertainment (FTV), and also Indosiar(“Namanya Juga Cinta”,”Milky Man”,etc). I also took a course of directing in P2FTV for 3 months. After that, I got a proposal to be assistant director in one of Production House.Then I worked for 1 months for unvalueable experiences. Because being assistant director needs extra time, so I decided to not continue being assistant director and continue my passion to write another scenario till 2005. In 2005, I got married and stopped to work because my  husband told me not to work after that. But in 2007, I really wanted to do it again. So, I tried to make a novel but there is a lesson for scenario maker. I tried to make a difference. And slowly but sure, my husband gave me a chance.

A         : When does this passion appear?

S          : When I was 22 years old.

A         : What is the biggest obstacle?

S          : Many things.

A         : What are the opinions of people around you related with your passion?

S          : At first, my husband disagreed with this passion and this job. Because I have a child, and he thought that is better for me to focus with my child. But once again, slowly but sure he gave big support and also help me desaign the cover.

A         : What will you do in future?

S          : I have a dream to make my own Production House and also directed my own movie.

Sharing

A         : What things that we have to have to be someone likes you?

S          : Study hard, love to read, and asking informations. Don’t be afraid to ask something. Talent and big motivation.

A         : Can you share with us some tips?

S          : Study hard, asking the informations, and try to find out. By the way, you can learn how to make your own scenario from my novel. In this novel, I use a simple language so you can understand well. Because, taking a course now is so expensive and very difficult to understand. So, you can try to study based on my novel. “Ku Kejar Cintaku Sampai ke Holland”. ^^

A         : What do you think about 'limitation' word?

S          : Limitations could be a stone barrier but if you try really hard, that rock barrier will be eliminated by itself. Mainly, we've got to have you strong willingness to succeed if it would have success!

Once again, you can buy my novel and learn about it. If you have any questions you can ask me anytime. I hope it can motivate you. Best Regards.

Gunakan semangat Kak Kelly untuk passion kita dan buktikan bahwa kita bisa. Mulailah percaya bahwa kita memang bisa!
