Director Marq Evans joins Filmmaker Mixer to discuss Capturing Bigfoot, the documentary revisiting the infamous 1967 Patterson footage—arguably the most analyzed 60 seconds of film ever shot. Premiering at SXSW, the film centers on a rediscovered 16mm reel and the untold story from Patterson’s own son. Evans breaks down archival restoration, documentary structure, and navigating belief versus skepticism. Filmmakers will learn about working with legacy subjects, handling controversial material responsibly, and crafting emotional stakes within investigative storytelling.
