Thanks for the comments (all of them). As most know, making a film is no easy task. We all like to think we can do better than the films we saw (and we should) but carrying out that desire in this industry is another story. Sasquatch Mountain (as it has now been dubbed) was from inception to be a “Sci Fi” film. That was why it was funded. So, within that frame work, and within our budgetary restraints, we set out to make the most “sci fi-like” film we could and still give The Big One the personality I believe he deserves.

Yes, there were times where we failed in story or in cinematic design, but I think for all it’s short comings, it manages to at least work on some levels. Yes, we did not have thousands and thousands for an amazing suit, but we made every effort to give it something as close to what we know as possible. I have seen other renditions of Bigfoot that really through me so I wanted something that would at least be a close call.

As for a hand in the shot, I think that must have been one of the actors hands as I have seen the film a hundred times in bits and pieces and we never noticed that. But I’ll have to check.

How many bullets hit the Sasquatch? Hard to tell, but I knew it was going to catch up with him eventually.

I don’t know if alfalfa and grain would be a real Bigfoot snack, but liked the idea of some guy finding out that it was.

As for the afterbirth, the idea was that Eli walks in on the birth. In fact, the point of the whole Bigfoot assault was him trying to protect his new family against the violent humans as opposed to the usual “killer creature stalking prey”. We were going to shoot a mother and baby at the end but could not make it look good enough.

You are right in that Bigfoot was on the “outside” alot. We wanted to try and make it more of a mystery, along the lines of how we percieve it. If we did the usual POV and followed the creature around a lot, we felt some of the mystery would have eroded.

We were up against many things on the production, including time and resources. We are independently funded so had to bite hard during the process. I am going to make the script available on line for anyone to read to see the original story.

I personally was interested in making a “Signs” version of Bigfoot. One where we are waiting and waiting for it to appear and relied more on the suspense than anything, but we had to please the money.

But in that process I tried to add what I could that would connect with the Sasquatch crowd. We even shot B Roll footage (cut from the film) shot in Willow Creek.

As for another one, well if they are happy with the numbers, they will possibly ask for another one. That is how Steven and I got the last one as they were so happy with the numbers from the first Sasquatch film.

As for the “Stinkin sack of bad cheese” line…that was a Wasson improv that remained in the film.

I hope we gave you guys something that though not the ultimate Bigfoot film (that to me would be a dramatization of a true story) was at least a cut above most of the others and gave our “hero” some honor in the end.

Thanks again!

The one thing I had trouble with is Wasson’s character buying stock all the time. If he has money why is he robbing a bank in Podunk, USA?

Three questions.

How many bullets did Bigfoot take before she died?
Is horse feed something Bigfoot would really eat?
And last, did I hear someone mention afterbirth when he dug around in some blood early on in the hunt?

Thanks for your work. How about another one.

I agree with “sasquatch” about “The Legend Of Boggy Creek”… There’s just something about that film.

Still… We might have to wait awhile for that definitive, great cryptid flick.

Thanks for listening…

Hope you guys enjoy it, including you, Mr. Worth. I really liked your character in the movie too, and that you actually survived all the way through the movie.

The ’squatch suit looked pretty good, and the hostility to guns fits in with alot of lore and theory I’ve heard and read. My major nitpick on the costume is the “bellbottom” look the fur on calves caused.

I almost always cringe seeing film representations of CPR though - I wish people would be more serious about showing it right on screen.

Overall, a worthy effort.

I’m assuming that his dog being thrown 35 ft. then is what the man is referring to when he said that his dog had been killed last week?

By the way, gents, I love the site! I stumbled in here from Loren Coleman’s site which I’d visited because I’ve read some of his books. I’ve had a fascination with Bigfoot since I was a kid growing up in the 70’s watching movies like “The Legend of Boggy Creek” and some documentaries and shows like “In Search Of”. Growing up in Maine it was easy to imagine Bigfeet all around, lurking in the woods.
