Boggy Creek Monster screening & director q & a at the Roxy Theater, Missoula!

Come see the independent documentary Boggy Creek Monster: The Truth Behind the Legend on the big screen at The Roxy Theater in Missoula on Sept. 21!  The film is directed by Ohio-based independent filmmaker Seth Breedlove of Small Town Monsters. Breedlove will be present at the screening to answer any audience questions. The event is sponsored by the Big Sky Bigfoot Conference.

Boggy Creek Monster explores the truth behind sightings of the “Fouke Monster,” a bigfoot-like
creature reported in the areas around Fouke, Arkansas. The creature was immortalized in the 1972 cult classic film, The Legend of Boggy Creek.

Boggy Creek Monster has won numerous awards, including Best Feature at the Hollywood
International Independent Documentary Awards, and has been screened at festivals nationwide. This
will be its first screening in Montana. It is part of the Small Town Monsters series of documentaries
examining unusual creatures found around the United States.

Tickets to the screening are available through www.bigskybigfootconference.com or through www.theroxytheater.org.

Bob Gimlin -- Guest of Honor

Mr. Bob Gimlin will once again be Guest of Honor at Big Sky Bigfoot.

Fifty years ago Oct. 20th, Bob Gimlin witnessed history as "Patty" walked into the forest alongside Bluff Creek, in California. The resulting film taken by Gimlin's research partner, Roger Patterson, has been the object of intense study and debate ever since. Come celebrate the 50th anniversary of this groundbreaking footage with us! You do NOT want to miss your chance to meet this one-of-a-kind gentleman.

Thank you, Bob!
Big Sky Bigfoot will be Sept. 22-23, 2017, at the Bitterroot River Inn in Hamilton, MT. Tickets are available NOW at www.bigskybigfootconference.com.

Tom Brodhead

Tom Brodhead and Thomas Ertz are active research-based field investigators for the Bigfoot Field Researchers' Organization (BFRO). Together their experience topples over decades of research and dedication to all things Bigfoot -- from watching the Patterson-Gimlin film debut and unfold in the Pacific Northwest, to having personal sightings in the state of Montana and reading all the books and articles they could get their hands on. Brodhead grew up in the Catskills Mountains of New York learning to hunt and fish, all while listening to the stories of wild men and strange, deep forest creatures. He retired to Montana with his wife Alexis after a career as a Construction Engineer. His fascination with Bigfoot kindled anew living so close to the areas he read about from Peter Byrne, John Green and many others. Brodhead has spent a lot of time in the Pacific Northwest meeting new friends and becoming more involved in the search for these relict hominoids.
 

Ertz grew up in Eastern Washington and had the idea of Sasquatch ingrained from an early age. Along with his wife, Caiti, Ertz spent all of his spare time following up on areas in Washington State that had activity or were “Hot Spots” for them. He even convinced her to turn their living room into a headquarters of sorts and wallpapered the walls with maps filled with sightings/encounters. She convinced him to move to Montana, and through mutual peers were introduced to Brodhead. Through this meeting, both Toms realized the advantages of staying within Montana for research. Together they follow up on reports, encounters, and stories from the Montana forests.

Thanks, gentlemen!  Tickets are available now at www.bigskybigfootconference.com.
