‘Mojo,’ Quirky Rom-Com With Cow as Social Media Star, Set as Debut Feature for Malaysia-U.K. Venture Sympatico (EXCLUSIVE)
‘Mojo,’ a quirky rom-com involving a cow as a social media star, is set as the debut feature for Malaysia-U.K. joint venture firm Sympatico.
The story of an ambitious city boy who finds love and meaning in simple, rural life “Mojo” is scripted by Honey Ahmad (“Motif,” “Saladin,” “Walinong Sari”). Sympatico pitches “Mojo,” as a film for local and international audiences with a witty, romantic and heartfelt angle that invites comparison with “Ted Lasso” and “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” An official synopsis reads: “Adi is a rising star at Moo Magic Farms, boosting sales by turning a distinctive-looking cow, Mojo, into a viral sensation and helping the company aggressively hoover up small rural dairy farms in pursuit of profit. Lim said: “[‘Mojo’] has brilliant and quirky characters plus stunning backdrops, together with universal ‘fish out of water’ and ‘David Vs Goliath’ themes [..] At its core, though, it’s a story about faith (of all kinds) and sacrifice and of doing right by others, of working for the greater good rather than our own personal success.”
