Sasqua: The Lost Bigfoot Film of Massachusetts

In the early 1970s, a band of regional New England filmmakers and locals came together to create and release what is now considered a lost holy grail Bigfoot horror film called, SASQUA. The film experienced a brief run in theaters and drive-ins in both New England and in the Southern USA, before ultimately disappearing. Through rare photographs and footage, as well as interviews with those sharing their personal stories about the production for the very first time, Sasqua: The Lost Bigfoot Film of Massachusetts will take viewers back into the New England woods in the hope of understanding what happened to this nearly 50-year old lost monster movie.

Directed by John Campopiano, Sasqua: The Lost Bigfoot Film of Massachusetts leans on a strong ensemble — Steve Bissette, Karen Spence, Jim McKenna — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 0.
