My Interview with film maker Christopher Munch on this Sasquatch gem
This is simply put one of the best Sasquatch films ever made and the most realistic. It approaches Sasquatch in a manner that is spiritually evolved compared to all the other trash out there. Sasquatch is a being that is much more than some type of wild untamed animal. This film is excellent and if you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you most assuredly pick up a copy. This is Sasquatch truth at it’s finest moment in film history. I would have to say it is the best Sasquatch film I have ever seen in my entire life. I have discussed Sasquatch many times at my radio show The Church of Mabus and I have always known there was more to Sasquatch than meets the eye. But this film embodies that perfectly and I found it to be enlightening and I hope you feel the same way after viewing the film. Presenting.
With all the horrific movies about Bigfoot out there that depict Sasquatch as a horrific creature it was great to finally see a movie that got it right. Who were some researchers that you took from that helped you to make sure you got Sasquatch depicted on screen correctly and especially positively instead of negatively?
Christopher Munch: My first advisor was Thom Powell, whose book The Locals was the one I most admired from my early reading. He very generously took me into the field and introduced me to his trusted friends, Kirk Sigurdson (Kultus) and Joe Beelart. Thom and Kirk encouraged me to put myself in places where I could conceivably begin to have experiences of my own – something which, at the time, I assumed was beyond my understanding or ability. My actress friend Jeri Arredondo (who, along with Thom, Kirk, Kathleen Grevie Jones, Dee Odom, Andrew Robson, and Jann Weiss, is featured in my documentary Sasquatch and Us), also encouraged me to forge further by opening my heart to the mystical aspects of sasquatch as she understood them from her childhood in the Mescalero Apache nation.
A year or so into the project, I corresponded with and met Kewaunee Lapseritis (The Sasquatch People, The Psychic Sasquatch), who advanced my understanding further. As a consultant on the film, he accompanied me in the field and opened a number of doors. I have consistently found his information to be truthful, and if he was ever unsure of an answer to a question, he would never hesitate to say “I don’t know,” rather than speculate too wildly. He steadfastly honors sasquatch. While he has paid a high price for being at the vanguard of “the fringe” over the past 30 years, thankfully “the fringe” is now becoming un-fringe as many others recognize the value of his methodology, and realize that the only way to connect with sasquatch is through the heart.
