Malaysia's Abnormal Studios has acquired theatrical distribution rights for Malaysia and Brunei to the science-fiction fantasy feature "Mimpi Kita: Castle in the Air", and will additionally act as the film's worldwide international sales agent outside those two territories. The company plans to launch the title at the Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM) in Busan this October, marking a significant step for the Malaysian original as it seeks both domestic release and international buyers.

Directed by Arifin Ajib and produced by Anti Gravity Euphoria Sdn Bhd and Da Huang Pictures, the banner run by Malaysian New Wave figure Tan Chui Mui, the film recently featured in the NAFF Project Market's It Project strand at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. Abnormal Studios, a subsidiary of Westec Media Limited, releases around 100 titles annually across Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Mongolia and Nepal, and will incorporate Kotodama Lab's audience-engagement algorithm into the theatrical campaign. Separately, the film's team is staging a fundraising event on 14 August in Negeri Sembilan, in partnership with the Nine Arts Festival, targeting equity funders with a dinner, an art installation and the launch of the film's original soundtrack.
