LONTAR
The home of Southeast Asia's independent creators
ART & ENTERTAINMENTPORTFOLIO
Company Overview
Lontar is a pioneering Southeast Asian media and entertainment group built to nurture, produce, and distribute creative content across multiple platforms. It is designed as an integrated ecosystem that spans film production and distribution, television and web series, animation, comics, novels, music, video games, streaming, crowdfunding, and creative education. By combining these divisions under one umbrella, Lontar not only develops original intellectual properties but also builds the pipelines to amplify them across media. A story can begin as a comic in Lontar Publishing, expand into an animated series from Lontar Animations, find its soundtrack through Lontar Music, and ultimately stream worldwide.
At its core, Lontar champions both global competitiveness and Indonesian cultural identity. It is built to empower local creators, elevate Southeast Asian stories, and open the region’s creative industries to international markets. Through Lontar Labs and Lontar Academy, it also invests in talent development, collaborative innovation, and accessible training, ensuring the next generation of filmmakers, writers, musicians, and designers have the tools to thrive. Lontar is more than a company — it is an ecosystem for storytelling, a platform for creators, and a bridge between tradition, technology, and the global entertainment economy.Check out similar companies
