In a recent video posted on YouTube, actors Jesse Eisenberg and Christophe Zajac-Denek sat down with Greg Russell to discuss their experiences working on the film "MSP Sasquatch Sunset." The film, which features Sasquatches as main characters, offered a unique challenge for the actors as they had to convey emotions and tell the story through physical movement and grunting rather than dialogue. Eisenberg, who is known for his roles in films such as "The Social Network" and "Zombieland," shared that he was initially skeptical about the script when he first received it from his friends, the Zelner brothers. However, he was quickly drawn in by the complex and human-like nature of the characters. Zajac-Denek, who plays a young Sasquatch in the film, spoke about the fun and childlike experience of acting through physical movement and prosthetics. He also mentioned the emotional depth of the characters and the story, which he felt was on par with many dramas he had been in. One interesting aspect of the conversation was when Zajac-Denek revealed that his mother's name is Christine Zjack, which is the same as the name of the YouTube channel that posted the video. He mentioned that it was a rare name and that he couldn't believe there were two people with the same name from Detroit. Overall, the video offers a fascinating look into the making of "MSP Sasquatch Sunset" and the unique challenges and rewards of acting in a film without dialogue. It's definitely worth a watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast or anyone interested in the art of acting. As a side note, I couldn't help but notice the
