In the misty forests of North America, a family of Sasquatches—possibly the last of their enigmatic kind— embark on an absurdist, epic, hilarious, and ultimately poignant journey over the course of one year.

These shaggy and noble giants fight for survival as they find themselves on a collision course with the ever-changing world around them.

Starring Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg, acclaimed directors David and Nathan Zellner (Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter) bring you the greatest Bigfoot story ever told.

Screened at Sundance, Berlin & SXSW

Reviews

How audacious, beguiling and disturbing is this crazy, absurdist fantasy? Let me count the ways.

The Times
Rewardingly novel, touchingly human and agreeably nutty.

Irish Times
Fresh score. It’s a simple premise that rewards in spades.

Starburst
Honestly one of my favorite surprises of the year. I felt nearly every emotion, many of them I did not anticipate at all.

InSession Film
You will laugh, you will shriek, you may cover your eyes. But after 20 minutes of watching, you start to acclimatize, you start to appreciate their different personalities. The longer you stay with them, the more you start to see.

CBS News
It's brilliantly filmed, constantly maintains our interest, boasts first-rate prosthetics, and is completely distinct from whatever else is found at the box office.
