“Riley and Jesse were as passionate for this opportunity as we were”: David and Nathan Zellner on Sasquatch Sunset at Berlinale 2024

After making waves in Sundance, the Zellner brothers brought their latest work to the Berlin Film Festival, where the film premiered out of competition.

Without spoken dialogue, Sasquatch Sunset tells the tale of a group of Sasquatches trying to survive four seasons out in the wilderness. The Upcoming spoke to David and Nathan Zellner about the unique forms of communication displayed in the feature. Further, we asked the directors whether it was really Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg underneath those unrecognisable costumes and how they incorporated these fictitious creatures with the real wildlife of the North American forests.
