[Video Interview] ‘SASQUATCH SUNSET’ directors on their Kubrickian vibes, embracing the offbeat path

Nobody makes them quite like David and Nathan Zellner, the filmmaking duo behind the delightfully weird and funny Sasquatch Sunset. (Listen to our podcast review here.)

The film is entirely wordless and only features the grunts and groans of its central mythical creatures — played to much excellence by Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner. The Zellner brothers’ work takes us into the daily lives of a Sasquatch family, as they embrace the wild environment they inhabit.

Sasquatch Sunset is a thrilling and immersive ride that will keep you laughing throughout, and Fresh Fiction was thrilled to discuss its happenings with the Zellners. Enjoy the video convo below, and catch Sasquatch Sunset in theaters!

I have been working as a film journalist since 2010, dividing the first four years between radio broadcasting and entertainment writing in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. In 2014, I entered Fresh Fiction (FreshFiction.tv) as the features editor. The following year, I stepped into the film critic position at the Denton Record-Chronicle, a daily North Texas print publication. My time is dedicated to writing theatrical film reviews, at-home entertainment columns, and conducting interviews with on-screen talent and filmmakers, as well as hosting a podcast devoted to genre filmmaking (called My Bloody Podcast). I've been married for ten happy years, and I have one son who is all about dinosaurs just like his dad.
