Description

Is this a funny found footage film, a scary one, or both? On this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers is joined by director/co-writer Max Tzannes, co-writer Jacob Souza, and editor/cinematographer David San Miguel to discuss Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project — a meta mockumentary horror comedy produced by the Radio Silence team behind Scream, Abigail and Ready or Not — that blurs the line between behind-the-scenes chaos and real-life terror.


Inspired by The Blair Witch ProjectSpinal Tap, and American Movie, the film follows a group of ragtag indie filmmakers trying to make a Bigfoot movie... but something supernatural and sinister might actually be lurking in the woods. Produced by Tyler Friesen with Radio Silence (ScreamScream VI), Found Footage is both a love letter and a hilarious jab at DIY horror and cryptid culture. We get into the real story behind the film, the Patterson-Gimlin influence, indie horror pitfalls, and whether this crew accidentally stumbled into a real found footage nightmare.
