Capturing Bigfoot
Directed by Marq Evans
On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson captured 60 seconds of film showing a creature walking through the Northern California woods—footage that became the most analyzed and debated in history. Fifty-seven years later, a reel of 16mm film discovered in a safe changes everything, revealing the untold story behind the world's greatest mystery, told for the first time by Patterson's own son and the people who were there.

Interesting timing in view of my own writing.

neutral · AI labelView post →“Capturing Bigfoot” is absolutely about the famous film of Bigfoot. But even more than that it’s about an extraordinary and fascinating family and their community. Just a really riveting human story.
positive · AI labelView post →Out today on Prime and a couple theatres is CAPTURING BIGFOOT, a documentary about the 1967 Paterson-Gilmlin film. Besides conclusively showing the film was a hoax (they found the smoking gun), it expertly tells the incredible family/friend drama it created. One of the best docs I’ve ever seen.
positive · AI labelView post →Y’all I’m like 15 minutes into the documentary CAPTURING BIGFOOT and I already love this movie so much. There’s been so much fast-film reality TV dreck made about this topic that watching someone approach this story with humanity is genuinely stunning and fascinating.
positive · AI labelView post →.... as it's based on competing claims about another episode of bigfoot hoaxing (namely, the Bluff Creek footprints of 1958). Needless to say, the entire PG film section will need a rehaul in view of what's said in the Capturing Bigfoot documentary (yes, I have seen some of the relevant sequences).
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the new documentary 'Capturing Bigfoot'. The headlines are all about the debunking of the Patterson-Gimlin film - but in truth, it's a great film because at its core is a human story about a boy who lost his father/hero at a young age (Clint Patterson). www.primevideo.com/detail/0JEZQ...

Extremely well-made and human film that examines not only the Patterson-Gimlan film, but the characters and motivations behind its creation, promotion, and consumption. A deeply tragic story of family and belief.

Then may I recommend Capturing Bigfoot, which has multiple coup de grâces showing the Patterson-Gimlin film is a hoax, why it was made, and the profound personal impact on people closest to it. Revealing. Worth it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Capturing Bigfoot, the Patterson Gimlin film expose is a great documentary. Very human, oddly empathetic, but it lays the case out beautifully and convincingly. It's as much a story about the power of belief as bigfoot and is not at all gotcha or mean-spirited.
