Wissenswertes

Willow Creek is a 2013 found footage horror film written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. It stars Alexie Gilmore and Bryce Johnson as a couple who venture into the woods of Willow Creek, California, in search of material for their documentary on Bigfoot lore.

Production

Bobcat Goldthwait has said the following about the making of the film:

"This one was self-financed. We just went out and did it. It was very guerrilla style. I did have a lot of laughs on this one. The craziness of all of us camping out together. Even though all the movies I make are pretty down and dirty, this one was the smallest."

"I wrote a treatment and an outline. It was an 11-hour drive up to Willow Creek. During that drive, we just discussed the backstory and what the characters would be like, all that kind of stuff. Then once we got there, we had to film right away. People were nervous we wouldn't be able to make this whole movie in a week. I wanted to make sure I got the right locations.

"The whole crew and actors were about seven total. But then we had a couple of guys who were Bigfoot experts and they went out with us."

"People were on a need-to-know basis. I didn't explain that to the locals you see in the first half of the movie because I just wanted them to be natural, so they just did some interviews with the actors, and I let the actors drive it."
