Hunting Bigfoot

Did he really see it? Or was it just in his head? As he emerges from yet another long slog in the Northwest wilderness, John’s resolve remains undiminished. Long estranged from his family, John checks in to grab some provisions and touch base with some fellow sympathizers and true believers before resuming his all-consuming quest—to verify the existence of a Sasquatch he claims to have witnessed. In Hunting Bigfoot, Seattle-based filmmaker, Taylor Guterson (Old Goats, Burkholder) skillfully melds the worlds of narrative feature and documentary film to capture this portrait of a broken man obsessively pursuing personal and professional redemption in a world where many of those close to him think he’s crazy.
