It has been announced that Grindstone Entertainment Group has acquired North American rights to distribute the found footage horror film Bigfoot County, with plans to release it this winter through Lionsgate:
"Grindstone Entertainment Group has acquired all North American rights for the feature film BIGFOOT COUNTY, a found footage thriller about a group of filmmakers who ventured into Siskiyou County in Northern California, an area widely known for its Bigfoot sightings, and disappeared. Their footage was found a year later. Grindstone will release the film this winter through Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
“I went up to shoot a movie on Bigfoot, then a local I met with presented me with evidence that blew my mind,” says BIGFOOT COUNTY director Stephon Stewart. “After seeing this film, you will begin to believe what many have doubted since the 1967 Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot Footage was released.”
Grindstone’s Ryan Black added that “The film puts a scary twist on a classic legend. Bigfoot enthusiasts and horror fans alike will really enjoy what Stewart has created.”
In addition to his directing duties, Stewart also produced the film with Richard Halpern, along with executive producers Johnnie Colter and Joey Napoli. Angelique De Luca is associate producer."
Bigfoot County stars Stephon Stewart, Davee Youngblood and Shy Pilgreen. If you're interested in learning more, we're told to expect the film's poster and trailer later this month.
