The Making of Bigfoot: The Inside Story

I live in washington state and since I was a kid I remember seeing the footage of "bigfoot" that patterson shot. Long's book goes into exhaustive detail about the man who shot the film. As the book states, never has anyone really looked into the details around the filming itself (dates, timeline of film processing, and so on.)

I liked Mr. Long's personal style. I felt as I were going with him as he tracked down details about this story. He made the people come alive, as if I were right there during the interview. I had seen the PG film many times before... Read Full Review
