LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Wonacott Communications) Bigfoot Entertainment Inc. will take audiences on an exciting thrill ride with its upcoming independent 3D action movie, 'Deep Gold,' opening for a limited run in select theaters nationwide on Friday, April 22. A milestone for Bigfoot, this movie is the company's first theatrical release and its first foray into the world of 3D; a rarity for independent production companies. Filmed entirely on the exotic island of Cebu, Philippines, 'Deep Gold 3D' showcases rising talent including international model-actresses Bebe Pham ('Midnight Movie'), Jaymee Ong ('Dirty Deeds') and Laury Prudent ('Irreversi').
'Deep Gold 3D' follows Amy Sanchez (Pham), a champion free diver who, along with her sister Jess (Ong), finds herself thrown into the middle of a deadly conspiracy. After a government plane carrying a fortune in gold - and piloted by Amy's boyfriend - goes missing over Philippine waters, Amy and Jess struggle to investigate the disappearance with help from allies Lulu (Prudent) and a journalist couple. But soon, the girls learn they are in over their heads.
''Deep Gold' is a 3D journey that starts as the story of a girl looking for answers about her missing boyfriend and spirals quickly out of control as a fortune in government gold, a plot to steal the treasure and a possible murder come into focus,' said Michael Gleissner, writer and director of Deep Gold. 'The island of Cebu plays an integral role in the film as well. Its beauty provided the perfect backdrop for the incredible action sequences in 'Deep Gold.' Working on this movie has been a labor of love, and we're hoping to give audiences that same feeling of excitement that we experienced within the setting of a tropical paradise.'
