Bigfoot Entertainment was founded in 2002 by German entrepreneur Michael Gleissner to finance and develop feature films, documentaries, and reality TV shows.

The film was shot on location in Hong Kong, and underwent post-production at the Bigfoot Studios in Mactan, in Cebu, Philippines.

[20] In November 2010, Bigfoot acquired Ascendent Pictures and formed Bigfoot Ascendant Distribution as a theatrical and home entertainment division to offer theatrical, home video, and video on demand distribution, as well as foreign sales representation and domestic television sales representation.

Bigfoot also operates Cleverlearn, an educational division to provide web-based English language instruction and test preparation.

After having secured licensing agreements with television's The Apprentice and Baywatch in 2006, Cleverlearn launched Movielearn,[23] which uses DVDs of the two series to teach conversational and colloquial English not normally found in the classroom.
