The mother of Sasquatch expert Marty Meltzer (Chris Kleckner), for example, was killed by Sasquatch, leaving Marty and his sister Martha (Kelsey Gunn) in charge of the world’s largest Bigfoot emporium. There’s a whole lotta over-the-top emoting going on, and it’s not always clear whether we’re supposed to be laughing at or with these characters, or perhaps pitying their delusional but endearingly unshakable belief that a Bigfoot sighting-Sasquatch, actually, as Bigfoot snobs will be quick to tell you-can solve all their financial and existential problems, including deep-seated emotional traumas that would take most so-called normal people years in therapy to unravel. The balance between seeming genuine and sailing over the top is no easy thing, but the ensemble mostly gets it, anchored by Barkley and Milman.
It’s a hero’s journey, any way you look at it. Barkley wavers effectively from depressive, tantrum-throwing thirst trap to someone who could live in a forest for days unaided and unheralded. There’s an edge here, so when a bit of sentimentality does creep in, it hits with maximum impact. Both the script and the direction have the cast walking the finest line between camp, satire, and earnestness. If that synopsis sounds like an Afterschool Special, be advised Bigfoot Famous is nothing of the kind.

While nefarious influencers (that nobody ever defines the actual job description of influencer is telling) Hottie Toddy (blink-and-you’ll-miss-him Justin James Hughes) and Freddie Huff (Lauren Howard Hayes) fan rumors about who gave the former chlamydia, it’s clear that Coley’s basically the high school outcast, only now, the bullies include millions and millions of subscribers rather than a few lunch tables full of jock lemmings. The UnGala is back! Clic k here for the ticket link for this year's celebration at Epiphany Center for the Arts on Oct. According to the wildly successful vlogger Peeka Blu (Marlon Webb), she fell from favor because her audience outgrew “lame content,” including stunts like “dead body prank” and the “spicy nut challenge.” Not even her boyfriend and Coley Nation costar Jericho Rosenberg (Sam Milman, who cowrote and codirected with Peter Vass) can raise Coley from her depression. That’s the un (explicitly) stated premise question at the heart of Bad Weather Films’ Bigfoot Famous, as it follows the heroic mostly-offline journey of one Coley Withers (Steph Barkley, who also cowrote), erstwhile stream queen and onetime leader of the 2.5 million-followers-strong Coley Nation.Īlas, Coley has lost both her followers and her raison d’être when we first meet her. Basically, we’ve gone from pictures-or-it-didn’t-happen to likes/shares/subscribers-or-you-don’t-exist. Nowadays, the rules are far more draconian, especially for the legions of influencers whose corporeal lives are so thoroughly entwined with their (and our) digital lives, the line between the two is all but nonexistent. “Pictures or it didn’t happen.” Such was the First Law of Social Media, since back when “social media” meant sharing polaroids and comparing Glamour Shots.
