Are You There Rod? It’s Me, Bigfoot.

Written and Directed by Bobby Knauff

Bobby Knauff as Bigfoot “Harold”, Bigfoot puppet designed and created

by Bobby Knauff and Erin Borris.

Rod Sitting has made it his mission in life to show the world that Bigfoot exists. And he does! But Bigfoot (he doesn't really like that name, he prefers Harold) has his own opinion on if he even wants to be found in the first place...

Genesis of the Show:

I have always loved the idea of Bigfoot and other 'cryptids' and the search for the 'unknown'. I believe they are the most innocent and fun of all the conspiracy theories to cling onto. But to dedicate your whole life to proving they actually exists? That's even more fascinating that some of the cryptids themselves. After falling down a rabbit hole of Bigfoot 'documentaries' (using that term lightly here) I just kept having the same thought; what would these people do with their lives if their search ended? Why do we believe these things in the first place and to what levels of dedication will we actually give it? And then because I love puppetry, the idea just exploded in my head of creating a full body Bigfoot puppet to have a conversation with a tracker. And here we are!
