Bigfoot Feature Film: Join Filmmaker Tom Cheney's 'Squatch' Journey on YouTube

If you're a fan of behind-the-scenes looks at the filmmaking process, then you're in luck. A new YouTube channel called SquatchTheMovie is documenting the creation of their micro-budget feature film, and it's a fascinating glimpse into the world of independent filmmaking. The channel's creator, Tom Cheney, is a self-proclaimed "gorilla filmmaker" who has experience making micro-budget features and working on Hollywood blockbusters. In the first episode of "Squatch" Diaries, Cheney explains that he wants to document the entire process of making their film, from pre-production to post-production, in a series of three-to-five minute vignettes. Cheney's enthusiasm for the project is contagious, and it's clear that he's passionate about sharing the ups and downs of making a film on a tight budget. In the first episode, he takes us through the early stages of pre-production, including location scouting and assembling the crew. But what does this have to do with Bigfoot, you might ask? Well, nothing directly. However, the name of the YouTube channel and the film itself, "Squatch," is a nod to the creature that many believe inhabits the forests of the Pacific Northwest. It's an interesting choice for a film title, and it adds an intriguing layer of mystery to the project. As Bigfoot believers, we're always interested in any mention of the creature, no matter how tangential. And who knows, maybe the film will include a Bigfoot sighting or two. In the meantime, we'll be eagerly awaiting the next episode of "Squatch" Diaries to see how the filmmaking process unfolds.
