Grindstone and Lionsgate Home Entertainment recently released Bigfoot County on DVD and we had a chance to talk with director Stephon Stewart about the making of the film. Continue reading to learn about his thoughts on the Bigfoot myth, the challenges of getting the film made, upcoming projects, and his advice for independent filmmakers:
Have you always been interested in the Bigfoot myth? What can you tell us about your experience with the myth growing up?
Stephon Stewart: Ever since I was 10 years old I have been fascinated with the legend of Bigfoot. I remember my mother showing me the famous 1967 Bluff Creek footage and she would say that is America’s King Kong. That footage has always gave me chills back then and still does to this day.
What inspired you to write this screenplay? Was any of this based on real life accounts or something from your past?...
