Our Bigfoot Movie
Your truly, Bill Colrus, members of "On The Other Hand TV" and "Faces TV," and other hilariously genius folks are currently in pre-production for our movie about bigfoot. The movie will be highly improvised dialogue-wise, but will follow a tight storyline. Imagine Christopher Guest directing one of those bad 70's bigfoot docudramas.
We are finishing up the initial treatment for the film, and will be further developing plot points and character profiles. We will be holding auditions for the film in the near future, and plan to shoot in several remote areas of southeastern Tennessee.
We will shooting the film on Mini DV and editing it on Macs.
Please offer ideas/comments/suggestions.

Posted by: Zack at June 24, 2003 01:28 PMBill.....I'm a friend of your sister Tracy and she told me about your Big Foot (copyrighted, trademark style) plans last night. I may be of immense help to you....
For some reason, the spectre of Big Foot has haunted my days. First, when I was 16, one of my neighbors (I live on Hillbilly Boulevard in Ohio), an amazingly Joe Dirt-like man, appeared on the front page of the local paper one day, claiming a vision of Big Foot, get this, in his very back yard! Apparently the reporters didn't realize this man had been perpetually stoned since the Nixon era and lived in a tiny shack with porch beams supported solely by beer cans. Turns out, it was his friends playing a prank - as determined by the swath of fun fur on his fence. Proof can be provided.
Second.... I have researched my family tree. Most of them are from eastern Kentucky. There are distinct, time-honored legends among the family of a Big Foot-like creature that has always called the Appalachian coal country its home (he feels real comfortable there). Proof is anecdotal at best, but this should work well in your film: our monster is different, see? He's white. Albino. In fact, he is known by the divinely inspired moniker, "The Big White Thing."
Third....My best friend in the whole world moved to the country - "God's Country" last year and found a business card posted in her local gas station/grocery store/bait shop/meeting place. It reads: Linda Wygle, Field Director, Ohio Bigfoot Investigation Team. It advertises research and investigation of "the bigfoot creatures" and has a logo to match. There is an address and phone number listed.
Please contact me at above email address for further details.
