Our 2nd annual Filmsquatch Bigfoot Short Film Challenge was held in 2024
5 films were entered this time around and were screened to an audience at the 2024 Lake Charles Film Festival in Lake Charles, Louisiana on Friday, October 4th. The winning film this year was "The Demon's Doorstep" by the Dorfman brothers of California. Congratulations to them for a job well done. They were unable to attend the festival, but a prize package and prize money were sent to them. Below are some pictures of them along with their Dad, showing off their trophy.
Our 1st Filmsquatch Bigfoot short film challenge took place in 2023
4 films were entered into our very first film competition. All 4 films were screened to an audience at the 2023 Lake Charles Film Festival in Lake Charles, Louisiana on Friday, October 6th. The films were viewed by a panel of judges prior to the screening and a winning Bigfoot short film was picked. The winning filmmaker, who happened to be present, was awarded a trophy at the festival awards ceremony. A prize pack and check for $200 was mailed to him after the festival. Two of the film directors were present at the screenings and the awards ceremony. You did not have to be present to win, the trophy would have been mailed to the winning filmmaker if they were not present. We will definitely be doing this challenge again in 2024. Be watching for the announcement on this website and on our social media platforms.
