Riley Keough Interview: Sasquatch Sunset and Making This Very Silly Movie Believable

A major highlight at any film festival? Getting the opportunity to see a one-of-a-kind feature film that leaves you thinking, "How does this exist? I’m so grateful this exists!” That is Sasquatch Sunset.

The movie stars director Nathan Zellner, Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg and Christophe Zajac-Denek as a family of Sasquatches. Via a dialogue and narration-free narrative, the film shows what the creatures do when they’re not inadvertently getting caught on camera, like in the Patterson-Gimlin footage. It shows their everyday life. Entirely told from the Sasquatch point of view, Sasquatch Sunset follows the foursome as they munch on greens, mark their territory, communicate with one another, find curious ways to entertain themselves, and loads more.

Shortly after the film’s world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Keough, Zajac-Denek, director-star Nathan Zellner, and writer-director David Zellner swung by the Collider interview studio brought to you by Film.io to explain how a script they thought would be impossible to make became a reality. Hear all about the experience of creating and embodying a family of Sasquatches straight from the Zellners, Keough, and Zajac-Denek in this Sundance interview.
