Sasquatch Sunset: A Fictional Film's Emotional Journey in Redwood Forests

In a recent video from The Mary Sue, directors David and Nathan Zellner discuss the process of creating their latest film, "Sasquatch Sunset." The film features two Sasquatches, played by Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough, as they navigate their way through the Redwood forests of Northern California over the course of a year. The Zellner brothers explain that the script for "Sasquatch Sunset" was tightly written, with no dialogue and only emotional beats to convey the story. Nathan, who plays one of the Sasquatches, describes the experience of acting in the film as "feral" and "fun," as he and David took turns acting and working behind the scenes. One interesting aspect of the film is the decision to shoot in the Redwood forests, where the Ewoks from "Star Wars" were also filmed. Nathan even jokingly refers to himself as a "tall Ewok" in the film. The stunning visuals of the Redwoods add to the epic and primordial feel of the Sasquatch's world. The directors emphasize the importance of capturing the emotional connection between the audience and the Sasquatches. They wanted to explore the full spectrum of human behavior through these creatures, and the film does a great job of balancing humor and drama. The Zellner brothers also mention that they wanted to work with actors who could bring depth to the characters, even while covered in makeup. They didn't want the Sasquatches to be just a creature off to the side, but the main focus of every frame. Overall, "Sasquatch Sunset" looks like a unique and captivating film that explores the world of Sasquatches in a new and interesting way. I can't wait to see it and I encourage all Bigfoot believers to check out the video from The Mary Sue to learn more about the making of the film.
