Abstract

This study examines how wayang-based short stories are turned into movie screenplays, emphasizing how contemporary cinematic techniques and traditional cultural narratives merge. The traditional art form of wayang, which is full with moral and philosophical principles, becomes an engaging story source. Creators can maintain the cultural significance of wayang while making it approachable and pertinent for modern audiences, particularly younger ones, by turning these stories into scripts. In addition to retelling classic tales, this method addresses technical elements including character development, storyline organization, and visual storytelling. By allowing authors to use contemporary topics and imaginative features, the flexibility of interpretation promotes a closer bond between contemporary media and cultural legacy. According to the study's findings, this adaption process is a practical way to cultural preservation, guaranteeing that in the digital age, wayang will still captivate and inspire people.
