The producer apparently liked the doc, and asked if we'd take part in a series, probably 6 to 8 episodes, and we also agreed to that. As of Wednesday this week, we completed shooting that content, which is now in editing, and should come out in about February. 

Both projects follow us to both historic and more recent sighting locations here in BC, Canada, mostly in the upper Fraser Valley and Harrison Lake areas. What you will not see is any call blasting or tree banging, like some previous shows seemed to love.

Sasquatch Sunset made headlines last month as one of the weirdest films to premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival — a strange and completely dialogue-free story about a grunting family of Bigfoots. (Bigfeet?) Now, Bleecker Street has shared the film’s first trailer, unveiling a new look at David and Nathan Zellner’s oddball epic.

As the title suggests, Sasquatch Sunset focuses on a small clan of nonverbal sasquatches who live in the Northern California woods. The film follows them as they go about their daily lives, complete with displays of sex, masturbation, and defecation. (When it premiered at Sundance last month, more than a few audience members walked out.)

An incredible set of events which ultimately yielded some fascinating prints which Meldrum and Krantz were bowled over by. Enjoy!

Is it worth the $2.99 Amazon rental fee? NO.

Are you going to see a giggling girls club waving pink and green smoke bombs as they walk in slow-mo, learn they hate spiders, learn they can't keep a canoe afloat, learn they "work hard, play hard. and love hard", and watch a brief night "expedition" that yields nothing but watching one of them remove her make up, and listen to one talk about her psychic abilities to remote view Bigfoot (as well as locate missing persons and solve crimes)? YES

Is Jason Kenzie clearly a poor documentarian and completely buffoonish interviewer? YES.

Don't walk...RUN away from this dreck.

Anyway...

I got an e-mail this morning from Amazon indicating that the movie is available for rent on Amazon for $1.99 or it can be purchased for $6.99. I still have not seen it, but I will rent it by this weekend.

Two adventurers delve deep into the myth, legend and reality of the mysterious creature that’s said to roam the Himalayas. This documentary series from BBC Radio 4 follows amateur yeti enthusiasts Andrew Benfield and Richard Horsey as they travel across the mountain range searching for evidence that the yeti might actually exist. Coming to BBC Sounds on 30 June 2023.

Have been enjoying this one and haven't seen it discussed on the board. I'm currently listening to episode five, where the researcher has been given a clump of purported yeti hair made into jewelry.

There's another series on mythical creatures which has a very British focus, but there's one episode on giants which might be of interest to BFFers:

Quote

Fantasy writer Rhianna Pratchett takes us across an enchanted British Isles to discover mythical creatures that lurk in all corners of the land. She uncovers what they can tell us about our history, our world and our lives today. As a child Rhianna was told of sleeping giants on the hilltops near her grandparent’s house in Wales. Now she returns to the Welsh mountains and to Cader Idris – a striking mountain in the Eryri National Park – to meet a particularly intriguing giant. Rhianna discovers why giants have been important to humans for centuries. She explores what they can reveal about ourselves and our landscape, and what giant tales might offer us in the present day.

Saw it again recently.   It has been on various streaming.  
 

It might be considered basic or simple but that is its appeal.  It just focuses on some simple basic concepts and questions with a little philosophy mixed in.   
 

(It also features past BFF poster Bill Miller who has since passed away.)

For those who have seen it, thoughts?

This one is the Olympic project and the bedding area. Derek is one of my favorites too. Just watched it. I highly suggest it.

Spoiler Alert

There was NO Bigfoot creature in this film. None. There was unconvincing knocks, whoops, growls (one was a Tiger recording) things slapping the tent, brush breaking, etc. And for mercy sakes!? Get out of the tent! Your just a nylon enchilada! We also saw some fake hair at one point and some foot prints by the creek.

What I did enjoy about the film was that they actually shot this at Bluff creek. So if your curious about the area? The film delivered there.

The skeptic wife was super annoying.....

The ending is super creepy and wrong. If you wanna watch the film and come back and discuss the ending that would be fun!

2013,  85 minutes, Not Rated Comedy

Available in Amazon Prime

"A skeptical tabloid reporter is sent into the mountains to investigate a string of Bigfoot sightings. He soon learns that the creature is nothing more than a beer-drinking, panty-stealing party animal. "

--------------------

This is easily the worst movie ever made. There is no plot, terrible acting, the bigfoot costume is from the Walmart halloween collection, there is exactly one good joke and the girls are not that attractive. Yet, after the 4th beer, it didn't seem so bad.

Watching this now. Found it interesting that Indians had myths about Ape men.

Cast: Jay Bachochin, Eric H. Altman, Linda S. Godfrey

Playing on Amazon Prime Video now.

Review: Two hours long but interesting. A local Wisconsin field researcher shares his outings while recording video/audio at his research area over the last 5 years. He takes different people with him so they can corroborate should any activity occur. Rock throwing, wood knocks, eye shine and vocalizations are documented on video.

Bachochin is very open, presents his family on camera which is very difficult to do for many field researchers of the subject. He comes across as genuine and honest. There is also a very interesting interview with a retired police officer who had an encounter in 1985. I enjoyed it.

The Hunting Grounds

2017,   1:31 minutes

Available on Amazon Prime Video

After losing their home following a devastating tragedy, a father and son are forced to move to an old family cabin. When two old friends arrive for a weekend of hunting, what begins as a bonding trip becomes an unimaginable nightmare. This trip deep into the forest will not find wild game, but does unearth a tribe of Sasquatch that are determined to protect their land.

--------------

The movie actually has a plot. It's a modern take on one of the classic Bigfoot stories (I won't spoil it). I like to watch these to see the quality of the costumes. Lets just say that they are not getting any better.  The movie starts slow but quickly picks up. It's worth 90 minutes if you're bored.
