THE SASQUATCH DUMPLING GANG (84 min.)
directed by Tim Skousen
* Writer/director Tim Skousen and actor Joey Kern are scheduled to attend.
Breeding chameleons for profit, medieval sword fighting, and mythic beasts are just some of the elements that make up the comedy THE SASQUATCH DUMPLING GANG. A group of young friends of varying ages, led by fantasy / sci-fi aficionado Gavin Gore, find some large footprints in the woods. It can only be one thing: Bigfoot! Or so they assume. The find leads them down a path of betrayal, young love, and clashes with bullies and non-believers alike. Meanwhile, a couple of heavy metal loving neighbors fight to save their precious Pontiac Firebird from creditors by inventing some get rich quick schemes. Produced and edited by Jeremy Coon (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE), the cast includes Justin Long (ACCEPTED, DODGEBALL), Joey Kern (GRIND, CABIN FEVER, SUPER TROPPERS), Jeremy Sumpter (PETER PAN), Rob Pinkston (“Nickelodeon’s “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide”) and Carl Weathers (ROCKY II).
