About the film:
World Premiere, 2024 Sundance Film Festival
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.
“Sasquatch Sunset is a film to compare with Planet of the Apes, or Watership Down, or even the days of silent cinema.”
—Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
