In 1950, Moward was concerned about the quality of Indonesian film.[1] He and his university friends, Del Juzar and Awaloedin Djamin, later made their film debut by starring in Darah dan Doa (1950), which was directed by Usmar Ismail.[1] During the early 1950s he starred in several films, such as Krisis (1953)[1] Moward later took a hiatus from acting to become a customs employee; he returned to the film industry in the early 1960s.[1]
