Joseph has this to say about his approach to the Bigfoot subject:

"During my research for the film, I delved into the world of Sasquatch enthusiasts, discovering a diverse community united by their love, reverence, and unwavering belief in this enigmatic creature. Within this community, there are two distinct factions: the "Aper's," who view Sasquatch as a yet-to-be-discovered hominid, and the "Woo's," who perceive it as an otherworldly being. With this film, I sought to navigate the complex terrain of Sasquatch lore with respect, infusing it with subtle humor and presenting compelling evidence for both camps.

Regardless of your stance on Sasquatch, THE SASQUALOGIST promises to leave you with a profound understanding of the legend and a newfound appreciation for the significance of paternal guidance in our lives, whether we've experienced it firsthand or yearn for its presence. With the heartfelt dedication poured into every aspect of this film, I am confident that you will embrace it with the same fervor and affection that fueled its creation."

This is a fascinating conversation about the creation of what is already being hailed by critics as "the best Sasquatch movie ever".
