Harry Dagoe Suharyadi (born December 12, 1969) is an Indonesian film director, screenwriter, actor and film producer. Harry graduated from Institut Kesenian Jakarta (Jakarta Institute of Arts) in 1995 - - a well known art school in JKT, from Film and Television faculty, majored in Film Directing. Harry’s first short film was "Happy Ending" and "Happy Ending" was named as official selection in many international short film festivals such as Toronto, Singapore, Palm Springs, Tampere, and received an award as The Outstanding Short Film from Pusan International Film Festival, the first South Korean International Film Festival, in 1996. "Happy ending" describes the impact of violent films and comics on children. In 1988, the movie he directed “Mencari Pelangi” won 8 awards: The Best TV Movie of The Year, The Best TV Movie (Non-Series), The Best Scenario, The Best Director, The Best Film Editing, The Best Story, The Best Costume Design, and The Best Cinematography. For such achievement at young age, Harry received a scholarship from Japanese government through Japan Foundation, recommended by Director’s Guild of Japan. So he went to Japan and lived in Tokyo for 9 months, during 1999-2000. While in Japan, Harry was free to do anything; to live his life as he liked. He had no obligation to work, no rules to follow. Harry chose to explore the day-to-day life in Tokyo; he would like to witness himself the day-to-day life which he saw on the films of Ozu Yasujiro’s, Mizoguchi Kenji’s, Akira Kurosawa’s, Seujun Suzuki’s, and Shoei Imamura’s. He started observing, making a note of everything he saw and finally his notes became a scenario. From the scenario, he started producing a film called "Pachinko & Everyone's Happy" in 2000; a film about an urban family in Tokyo - - about 3 generations in a family who live in one roof and they secretly have three different careers. Pachinko was invited to Jakarta Film Festival in 2000 and received a very positive response from Indonesian audiences, film critics and observers, and in 2002 Pachinko was invited to a film festival in Melbourne, Australia. An Australian film critic, David Hanan said,” Pachinko is the first Japanese film made by an Indonesian filmmaker.” In 2004, he wrote, directed and produced a TV series “Ratu Malu & Jendral Kancil” which won The Best Scenario and The Best Children’s Series at the National Television and Film Festival.

In 2006, Harry once again received a scholarship from Japanese government for Film Business and Digital Filmmaking Workshop in Yokohama. In 2008, Harry wrote, directed and produced an anthology film called “Cinta Setaman” (Love Potpourri) which highlights the social background, gender and religious communities in Jakarta, and the film was played as the opening film at Asian Hot Shots Berlin, an Art Film & Video Festival in Germany and nominated for The Best Asian Film in Singapore International Film Festival in 2009. In 2009, Harry wrote, directed and produced a teen horror film called "Dikejar Setan" and the film received a good response from horror movie audiences and the press. From 2009 up to early 2010, Harry is preparing his latest film production, a children’s musical adventure drama "Melodi", a story about a 10-year-old boy, who tries to help his father who works as an OJEK TEMBAK to buy a secondhand motorbike in order to make their life better.
