 Locomotion Films, part of the Montreal Exponent Group, comprising commercial houses La Fabrique d'Images and S.W.A.T Films, and post and digital effects house Buzz Image Group, was officially launched the same year as the film's release in 1999 with a view to developing English- and French-track feature films, television series, and dramatic shorts like "Kuproquo" and Jean-François Asselin's "La Petite Histoire d'un homme sans histoire".Marc S. Grenier, one of Locomotion's producers, said the Group was ready "to do something entirely serious", moving into fiction after working many years in commercials.Executive producer Denis Martel was also president of Locomotion.
