Stranded

Stranded is a new Bigfoot film directed by Ohio native Shawn Burkett of Concept Media.  Shawn also directed the really fun flick, Don't Fuck in the Woods. Here's a synopsis of the flick from the press release:

The film follows a group of siblings into the wilderness to fulfill their mother’s request of scattering her ashes in a location where she was fond of as a child. Along the way the siblings are forced to hash out issues and reopen old wounds before they become stranded on an old country road where they come face to face with the infamous bigfoot.

Here's a behind the scenes trailer and the official teaser.

Y'all know that I love indie horror and cryptid related things. I also love that this movie is being made by Ohio folks and is is about bigfoot specifically. My state is a hotbed of bigfoot sightings (as the map below shows). I'm from Scioto County, lived in Franklin until recently, and currently live in Ross County. As the map shows, all three have had bigfoot sightings in the last 19 years. 

This movie sounds like perfect inspiration for a Dark Places & Demogorgons game. The Cryptid Manual would be the perfect resource, with it's several variations of bigfeet (which really doesn't sound right). 

The film currently has an Indigogo campaign that goes through April. There are some really cool perk levels. Personally, my favorite is the 50 DVD/Bluray signed steelbook of the flick. I absolutely love steelbooks.  Other levels include posters, behind the scenes flash drives, posters, pins, busts, and even walk on roles and producer credits. If this seems like a flick you'd enjoy, consider donating here.
