First Look: Torfoot Entertainment Group Mounts Classic Horror The Yeti starring Jim Cummings (THUNDER ROAD, LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY) with New Slate of Films

Torfoot Entertainment Group (TEG), a fast-rising player in the film, television, and digital content landscape, has officially unveiled its ambitious upcoming slate, headlined by the monster movie The Yeti. The newly-announced project marks a significant foray into the realm of creature features, putting TEG in direct competition with major Hollywood studios known for giant monster franchises like Godzilla and Kong.

Founded by Canadian filmmaker Johnathan Brownlee, known for Three Days in August, Puppetmaster, and The Standoff at Sparrow Creek, along with Emmy Award-winning producer and casting director Ross Meyerson (Damages, Nurse Jackie, Dexter: Resurrection), TEG’s footprint spans major production hubs like Los Angeles, New York City, Dallas, and Toronto. The company is now stepping into the spotlight with its bold, diverse slate, spearheaded by The Yeti, which promises to breathe new life into the classic monster movie genre.

The Yeti, starring Jim Cummings (Thunder Road, Last Stop in Yuma County), will be shopped at the American Film Market (AFM) this fall by Radiant Films. The film stands out as a daring move in an era where large-scale monster movies are typically backed by major studios. Not since the original Japanese pioneers over 50 years ago has an independent production house ventured into this territory without substantial studio backing.

Concept art for The Yeti was revealed along with the announcement, teasing a dramatic, larger-than-life visual approach. The film's animatic—a meticulously scored and composed animated storyboard—offers an exclusive early look at the thrilling tone and scope of the project.

This is just the beginning of TEG's upcoming releases. The entertainment company, with deep roots in both traditional and digital media, is positioning itself as a disruptor in the industry, with Brownlee and Meyerson promising an eclectic mix of films that span genres and challenge conventional norms.

With The Yeti charging forward and a string of other films soon to follow, TEG is poised to make waves in both the indie and mainstream film spaces. Keep an eye on this production house as they continue to break new ground in 2024 and beyond.
