What is Yellow Hill Investments LLC?

Yellow Hill Investments LLC is a production company formed by International film star, Bai Ling, and Milwaukee filmmakers Ross Bigley and Glen Popple.

This production entity was formed for the sole purpose of producing films and content based on the Yellow Hill concept. Yellow Hill was created in the late 90's as a feature film by Ross Bigley and later pitched to Bai Ling in 2010 while she worked on Ross' film, Petty Cash. Bai Ling loved the character of the Stranger and jumped at the chance to portray a strong Asian female on screen. From there Bai and Ross teamed with fellow collaborator Glen Popple to form this company. The characters, concepts and ideas of all things Yellow Hill is what this company is about. The first production is an introductory teaser that establishes Bai Ling's character, and is based on a small flashback from the feature script that involves her character's father. This teaser is a co-partnership with the Chicago based Stormynight. Yellow Hill's next project will be the feature film, Yellow Hill that is already in pre-production. Ross is already researching a potential follow up to the feature film which further explores the Stranger's world, and haves her interacting in more situations taking place in the 1860's like the Civil war and slavery.
