Can you tell me a little bit about the history of Bigfoot?

Yeah, I mean, the history of Bigfoot or Sasquatch or the hairy man or the, all those [laughs] or all, all these different names, it actually goes back not just, like, tens of years or hundreds of years, but thousands of years.

All around the world there's been sightings and, and experiences and stories, so it's really this fascinating subject that I, I didn't really have much of an idea about all of that history until I got started in this project.

And then kind of the modern day, I would say, Bigfoot that we know it in the United States and North America at least, started in 1958 out in the Bluff Creek area where, um...

And that was the first time there, there was a report of these creatures, and it was the first time that it was reported in the newspaper and called Bigfoot.

So that's really when everything was born kind of in the way that we know it.

And then fast-forward to nine years later, Roger Patterson shoots the Patterson-Gimlin film, which is the most famous photographic evidence as far as some people are concerned of a Bigfoot.

What inspired you to make this film?
