Below is the sneak trailer for Squatch, produced by Look Now Productions
I am an independent filmmaker in Eugene, Oregon. I am also working on a Bigfoot movie titled "SQUATCHED!" I have been messing with this idea that I have had fully realized in my head for 3 years. I have always had the title "SQUATCH" in mind. That is until yesterday when I decided to look around the internet for that name and found 2 other films in production this year with that title. My film is about an entomologist that goes into the woods looking for beetles. When he catches a glimpse of Bigfoot he becomes obsessed to find the elusive beast. He discovers bizarre secrets and strange characters on his quest for the truth. My film is a SciFi/Comedy so I think the title change to "SQUATCHED!" suits it well. I just find it amazing that there are 2 other films out there in production this year with the same title I had! One is the film you write about here and the other is in Woodinville, Wa at www.squatchmovie.com
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't actually mention that I am also in production, but not yet shooting.
DeleteMan that looks terrible. The "Squatch" looks like a bad gorrilla costume, LOL
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand the other SQUATCH film @ www.squatchmovie.com looks much better! Now that looks like a Bigfoot movie I would see!
ReplyDeleteThe very very best this film can hope for is that someone finds its bad enough to be funny.
ReplyDeleteThat's it, it's best hope.
Subject matter aside it is very possible to make a great movie on a low budget. This is not how.
I love cheesy Bigfoot movies.
