"We have been tracking this project for several years," said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. "Andrew has crafted a terrifying thriller that combines the suspense of 'Alien' with the legend of Bigfoot. We think the potential market for the film transcends the normal expectation for monster and creature features, and reaches into a mainstream audience. We're very pleased to be working with Andrew on bringing his film to life," he continued.
