Brothers David and Nathan Zellner have wowed audiences with their previous works, like 2014’s “Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter” and 2018’s “Damsel.” Ever the eccentric duo, their movies tend to be a comedy showcase while inspiring some life lessons along the way. Often, they tread towards urban legends as themes in their films, which speaks to their newest obsession with the North American mythical figure of Bigfoot.

You know Bigfoot. He, or she, is often described as a giant hairy ape upright on two legs walking around the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Many have claimed to have seen Bigfoot, but few have captured the creature on film, or so they claim.
