  "summary": "Malaysian brothers Iskander and Feisal Azizuddin, co-founders of Feisk Productions, are taking their production company to Los Angeles after being selected for the prestigious 2026 Global Media Makers (GMM) LA Residency. The residency, implemented by Film Independent in partnership with the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, brings together film and television professionals from across Asia and offers mentorship, masterclasses, and project development sessions. The nine Malaysians selected for the program include members of the Malaysian screen industry, such as Fareeq Alias, Zan Azlee, Benjamin Sevang, Lemuel Ong, and Perassath Servai, alongside filmmakers from Indonesia and Thailand. This opportunity allows Iskander and Feisal to expand their understanding of international project financing, development, and distribution, as well as connect with filmmakers from the region who have experience in major film festivals.",
