Interesting facts
Better Off Dead is a 2025 Indonesian cringe comedy film directed by Kristo Immanuel in his directorial debut from a screenplay he wrote with Jessica Tjiu. The film stars Omara Esteghlal as Gema, an awkward young man.
Production
In March 2025, producer Ernest Prakasa announced the project during the presentation of Imajinari Pictures' film slate at the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market. In an interview with Kompas, Immanuel described the film as a "love letter for people with neurodiversity". He further explained that the use of the "breaking the fourth wall" concept in the film represented self-talk, which is commonly seen in neurodivergent individuals.
Principal photography began in February 2025.
