Production

Big Legend writer/director Justin Lee grew up in the Pacific Northwest and drew inspiration for the film from local Bigfoot legends he heard while growing up. Shot in an area of Washington Lee was familiar with, nearly a week into filming, the state saw its biggest snow storm in 30 years, which covered the area overnight with as much as two feet of snow in some places. This meant the snow had to be incorporated into the film's script.

Lee emphasized his desire to use practical effects in the film, but also to make "this one-man movie where he's on the hunt for this creature, similar to Predator". He cited Jaws as an inspiration for their approach to this film's Sasquatch, utilizing Spielberg's technique of not revealing the monster in full until the film's climax.
