Commitment and Cross-Border Vision Although they are YouTube creators, Rebeltech Collective is dedicated to the Indonesian narrative. The film is a sincere journey to the villages of Padang Perigi, Tanjung Tebat, Lahat, South Sumatra. "Kopi is our love letter to the farmers of Padang Perigi and all farmers around the world. The idea for this film was born under a simple HDB void deck in Singapore. We used AI as a tool, not a replacement, to honor their labor," says Budiyan, Co-founder of Rebeltech Collective. The team’s core is driven by Budiyan’s strategic vision, alongside the remarkable perseverance of his partners: Hiswady (SG), who is wheelchair-bound, Amir (SG), and Okta (Indonesia).
