HONG KONG – Bigfoot Entertainment, an Asian entertainment group with offices in Hong Kong and studios in the Philippines, will enter the U.S. theatrical market when it self-distributes "Midnight Movie" next week.

"Bigfoot is poised to handle niche platform releases in the domestic theatrical market," Bigfoot said in a statement. "The company is strategically positioned to distribute its own slate of feature films as well as films acquired by the company to fully service independent filmmakers with varying production budgets."

"Midnight Movie" will open in a limited release on Oct 17 and be rolled out to other major markets throughout the U.S. in a traditional platform manner. Marketing and distribution strategy for (Bigfoot's) theatrical operation will be managed in-house.

Horror pic about a slasher who steps out of the screen, is the feature helming debut of Jack Messitt. It was produced by Bigfoot Entertainment CEO Kacy Andrews, Liam Finn and Jacques Thelemaque and exec produced by Michael Gleissner, chairman of the Bigfoot Group. At

Pic won best feature and best cinematography prizes at the 10th Annual Chicago Horror Film Festival this past weekend earlier this month. It stars Rebekah Brandes, Daniel Bonjour, Greg Cirulnick and Mandell Maughan.
