Biography
Salman Aristo became one of Indonesia's most prolific screenwriters by accident. Born in Jakarta in 1976, he didn't pursue film until a university friend suggested he write a screenplay. His first script, Tak Pernah Kembali Sama, caught the attention of director Rudy Soedjarwo. Working as a film reviewer, Aristo met director Hanung Bramantyo, who asked him to script a film about brownies—a critical success that opened the floodgates.
He went on to co-write four major films: Ayat-Ayat Cinta, Laskar Pelangi, Garuda di Dadaku, and Sang Penari. In 2010, he stepped behind the camera for his directorial debut, Jakarta Maghrib. As a screenwriter and film director, Aristo draws inspiration from Western masters—Woody Allen, Robert Altman, Richard Linklater, Richard Curtis—and Indonesian greats Arifin C. Noer and Asrul Sani. He has been nominated for three Citra Awards for screenwriting.
Married to fellow screenwriter Gina S. Noer, Aristo embodies Aries determination: direct, action-focused, pioneering. His life-path number 4 suggests a builder of foundations—scripts and stories that ground Indonesian cinema in emotional truth.
