Visinema, founded by Indonesian filmmaker Angga Dwimas Sasongko, is pursuing an ambitious expansion strategy centered on developing locally rooted intellectual property with international reach. The company targets the first quarter of 2027 for the release of “Queen of Malacca,” a Southeast Asian fantasy epic currently in post-production that has garnered interest from potential distribution partners in China, Thailand, and other markets. Blue Finch Films has been engaged to handle worldwide sales, and Sasongko indicated the studio is actively negotiating with prospective distributors.
Sasongko described “Queen of Malacca” as marking his return to directing following a two-year hiatus and represents one of his most ambitious undertakings to date. The filmmaker invested eight years developing the fantasy world, which integrates Southeast Asian martial arts, supernatural elements, and extensive visual effects. Sasongko characterized the project as foundational to Visinema’s broader franchise strategy rather than a standalone feature.
Visinema’s production roadmap includes five films scheduled for release in 2027, alongside an animation pipeline extending through 2030. Planned projects include a superhero action-comedy animated feature for 2028, a sequel to the family-oriented IP “Nussa,” and a follow-up to the animated film “Jumbo,” identified as one of Indonesia’s highest-grossing theatrical releases. The studio is also developing animation content throughout the planned period.
Sasongko emphasized that Visinema’s approach to international collaboration extends beyond capital acquisition. Since 2018, the company has maintained external investment at levels generally below 40% of project budgets, prioritizing partners that offer market access, industry expertise, and strategic value. Visinema is actively cultivating relationships across mainland China, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines to support this expansion strategy.
