A Malaysian cannibal black comedy about two friends who stumble into a bestselling jerky recipe with a human ingredient has landed an international sales agent ahead of its market debut.

Abnormal Studios, a subsidiary of Westec Media Limited, has taken on worldwide international sales for Ali & Ben's Spicy Meats and plans to launch the title at the Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM) in Busan this October, according to Variety. The ACFM runs alongside the Busan International Film Festival, one of Asia's flagship industry gatherings.

The film is the ninth independent feature from sibling filmmakers Iskander and Feisal Azizuddin, produced under their Feisk Productions banner. Their earlier work includes Angkat, Tafakur, This Land of Mine and Kabus. Angkat had its world premiere at the 2024 Blue Chair Film Festival in Luang Prabang, Laos.

Amir Nafis leads the cast, alongside Syazani Zikry and Bella Imani. Original hand-drawn illustrations for the film were created by Gladys Lee and Qistina Ishak.

The plot follows two down-on-their-luck friends who accidentally discover a winning spicy beef jerky recipe — one that includes a human ingredient. Co-director Feisal Azizuddin told Variety the film explores "how desperation warps ordinary people and how ambition often wears a friendly face."

Abnormal Studios brings roughly 100 titles a year to market across Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Mongolia and Nepal. Its recent commercial successes include How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, both of which travelled well beyond their home territories.

Feisk Productions has also been active on the documentary front. The banner recently cleared its crowdfunding target for False Summits, a documentary about a Malaysian mountaineer who died attempting Gunung Tahan, Malaysia's highest peak.

For the Azizuddin brothers, the Busan launch puts their work in front of the sales agents and distributors who decide what reaches screens across the region. For Abnormal, it adds a horror-comedy with a darkly comic hook to a slate that has already proven it can move tickets in multiple markets.
