Bigfoot Entertainment Acquires Cult Film Website CHUD.com
As CHUD.com's main supporter, Bigfoot, an international production company that develops films for the global marketplace, will further the site's development and expand its presence in the film industry.
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) June 03, 2011 - Bigfoot Entertainment Inc. is now the chief financial backer of www.CHUD.com, a website chronicling the latest news and events in the film industry, after a year-long effort of laying the foundation for the merger. As CHUD.com's main supporter, Bigfoot, an international production company that develops films for the global marketplace, will further the site's development and expand its presence in the film industry. The site receives nearly 600,000 unique visitors per month.
"With all of Bigfoot's resources and headway in the film industry, being under its ever-expanding umbrella is one of the smartest and most forward-thinking moves we have made as a company," said Nick Nunziata, founder, publisher and editor of CHUD.com. "Bigfoot always has something creative up its sleeve and an ambition that's very contagious. We're excited to become a part of that as they build on their already great foundation."
Short for "Cinematic Happenings Under Development," CHUD.com focuses on in-depth reviews of recently released films, and interviews of actors, actresses, directors and other industry notables. It also provides news, rumors and scoops on upcoming projects and has one of the most robust communities on the net. As part of the agreement, CHUD.com will become a conduit for Bigfoot's projects, with plans for a dedicated portal on the site's homepage, which will link to information about its films, companies, acquisitions, film schools and other ongoing initiatives.
"Acquiring the site is a creative decision that will be mutually advantageous to both CHUD.com and Bigfoot," said Kacy Andrews, CEO of Bigfoot Entertainment. "The site has an almost cult-like following and we are poised and eager to tap into this market to grow our following of film-lovers on an even greater scale."
CHUD.com recently covered Bigfoot's first theatrical release, "Deep Gold," an action-adventure flick that debuted in select theaters nationwide last month. For more information on Bigfoot, please visit www.bigfoot.com.
