Raffi Iskandar, born in Depok on February 11, 2001, is a short film director who has shown a strong interest in technology since an early age.

In 2019, Raffi continued his studies at Universitas Padjadjaran, majoring in Television and Film, to further refine his skills and deepen his knowledge in the field. During college, he remained productive, creating short films with his new circle of friends. One of the works that brought him recognition among filmmakers and film festivals was Short on Cash (2022), a story about a 2000-rupiah banknote that managed to capture the attention of many. This success led to an opportunity to collaborate with the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in 2023, producing a public service announcement short film themed around the general election.
In addition to his role as a director, Raffi also has experience in various production roles such as assistant director, clapper, sound recordist, videographer, and video editor for multiple projects, including short films, commercials, and web series.
