\n\tRomantic comedy \u201cFinding Mojo\u201d opens nationwide in Malaysia on July 23, with a Singapore release following on July 31 and an Indonesian bow in the works. <\/p>\n

\nAstro Shaw is distributing the film locally, while SC Films International handles sales in territories outside Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe release marks the first feature from Sympatico, the Malaysia-U.K. production label Double Vision launched with veteran British producer Richard Johns. Double Vision is now part of Vision Entertainment Group, a recently rebranded studio operation with Min Lim serving as group CEO. The company, with nearly four decades in Malaysian television production behind it, is also developing \u201cEmergency,\u201d a limited series with Luke Evans attached to star, as Sympatico\u2019s next project.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film follows Adi, a rising executive at a dairy company whose viral cow, Mojo, has become a social media star. When the company\u2019s push to acquire small farms runs into a village that refuses to sell, and the village\u2019s farmer kidnaps the cow to force negotiations, Adi is sent undercover to retrieve the animal \u2013 only to fall for the farmer\u2019s daughter and reconsider his priorities. The cast is led by Indonesian actor Adipati Dolken, Malaysian actress Mimi Lana and veteran actor Wan Hanafi, alongside supporting players Namron, Dato A. Tamimi Serigar, Aziz M. Osman, Tony Eusoff, Gambit Saifullah and Farah Ahmad. Honey Ahmad wrote the screenplay, with Zahir Omar serving as executive producer and creative consultant.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFinding Mojo\u201d also marks Lim\u2019s feature directorial debut, following two decades producing Malaysian adaptations of \u201cThe Bridge\u201d and \u201cLiar.\u201d Around 90% of the film was shot in Perlis, Malaysia\u2019s smallest state.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve spent more than two decades helping other directors bring their visions to life, so stepping behind the camera myself felt like a very natural evolution rather than a leap into the unknown,\u201d Lim tells Variety<\/em>. \u201cProducing taught me that directing isn\u2019t about having all the answers \u2013 it\u2019s about creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe production drew crew from six countries, including editor Chris Gill in the U.K., composer Sam Anderson in the U.S., VFX supervisor Tigran Badalyan and graphics artist David Forero.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI never wanted to direct simply to say I\u2019d directed a feature film,\u201d Lim says. \u201cI was waiting for the story that genuinely felt like it had to be told through my own eyes. \u2018Finding Mojo\u2019 is a celebration of family, community and finding joy in unexpected places, and I couldn\u2019t imagine handing that story to anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tZahir Omar, the award-winning filmmaker behind \u201cFly By Night,\u201d is serving as executive producer for the first time in his career, alongside his role as creative consultant on the film.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe story is inspired by the values at the heart of Aidil Adha \u2013 faith, sacrifice and community,\u201d Lim says. \u201cWhile \u2018Finding Mojo\u2019 isn\u2019t an Islamic film, those values belong to everyone. In Asia, the cast will naturally be a big draw, while internationally we hope those universal themes, together with the film\u2019s production values and creative team, will help the story find an audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe release lands as Double Vision widens its international footprint. The company has also struck a co-production agreement with Astro Shaw and the Philippines\u2019 ABS-CBN covering three premium drama series, the first of which is currently in development \u2013 part of a wider push by the company to build repeatable cross-border projects instead of depending solely on commissions at home.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor too long, Southeast Asia has been viewed primarily as a place where international productions come to shoot,\u201d Lim says. \u201cI think the next chapter is about creating stories here that travel everywhere. That\u2019s the ambition we\u2019re building at Double Vision \u2013 not simply to service international productions, but to become a studio whose stories originate in this region and resonate around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI genuinely believe this is Southeast Asia\u2019s moment,\u201d she adds. \u201cAudiences everywhere are looking for fresh voices and authentic stories, and our region has an incredible richness of culture, humor and humanity. We don\u2019t need to imitate Hollywood or Europe. We need to tell our own stories with confidence, because that\u2019s what audiences are increasingly responding to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDouble Vision earned an International Emmy nomination for its ABS-CBN co-production \u201cKahit Isang Saglit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re not trying to build a company that occasionally makes international projects,\u201d Lim says. \u201cWe\u2019re building an international studio that happens to be based in Southeast Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n
