Meet the Sasquatches! Bleecker Street has revealed the first trailer for Sasquatch Sunset, the hilariously genius film about a Sasquatch family living in the woods. This recently premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and will next screen at the Berlin Film Festival before it hits US theaters in April. It’s opening on April 19th, just in time for 4/20. Spend a year in the life of a unique family. Captures the daily life of the Sasquatch with a level of detail & rigor that’s simply unforgettable. The nature film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner wearing full-on Sasquatch suits playing the kooky family living in the forest. Yeah this definitely won’t be for everyone! It’s a hilarious, fascinating, peculiar, one-of-a-kind cinematic creation that does not hold back – and it is somehow quite touching and endearing when all is said & done (here’s my full review). Come play with a Bigfoot family! Learn their ways.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for the Zellner Brothers’ Sasquatch Sunset, direct from YouTube:
Original intro to this movie from Sundance: “A year in the life of a singular family. Sasquatch Sunset is, indeed, an utterly singular filmmaking feat. Deploying a daring approach with ferocious commitment, David and Nathan Zellner’s imaginative work captures quotidian sasquatch life with detail and rigor that is simply unforgettable.” Sasquatch Sunset is co-written & co-directed by the American filmmaker brothers David Zellner & Nathan Zellner (aka Zellner Brothers), also creators of the indie films Plastic Utopia, Frontier, Goliath, Kid-Thing, Kumiko The Treasure Hunter, and Damsel previously. It’s produced by Lars Knudsen, Tyler Campellone, David & Nathan Zellner, George Rush, Jesse Eisenberg, David Harari. This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (read our review). Bleecker Street will debut Sasquatch Sunset in theaters nationwide starting on April 19th, 2024 this spring. Who’s down?
