The new documentary American Sasquatch: Man, Myth, or Monster will be released digitally on December 1, with a special premiere screening set for November 28 in Seattle, followed by a Q and A with author and investigator Dave Paulides, known for the Missing 411 series.
Directed by Gabe Torres, whose credits include Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries, the film explores Bigfoot through a mix of forensic investigation, scientific analysis, and interviews with researchers and longtime field investigators. Paulides, a former police detective and founder of the North American Big Foot Search, leads the examination, expanding on themes present in his bestselling Missing 411 books and documentaries.
The film features appearances from Scott Carpenter, Stan Gordon, Harvey Pratt, Ron Morehead, Representative Tim Burchett, Dr. Colm Kelleher, Dr. Robert Alley, and others from the Bigfoot and unexplained phenomena research community.
Produced by Jim Martin and Phillip Latham, with executive producers Dave Paulides and Henry Marx, American Sasquatch positions itself as a deep dive into new theories, advanced DNA work, and scientific perspectives that attempt to bridge folklore with empirical inquiry.
