Christophe Zajac-Denek on Becoming Bigfoot in Sasquatch Sunset

While the debate rages on as to whether the elusive cryptid known as Bigfoot even exists, the new film from directors David and Nathan Zellner, Sasquatch Sunset, is looking to change Hollywood’s perception of the creature. In the past, Bigfoot has often been portrayed as a savage beast out for blood, with a few exceptions, such as Harry and the Hendersons in 1987. Now, he has an entire family to support, has to deal with a pubescent child, and has to worry about where his next meal will come from. Welcome to the real world, Bigfoot.
