Watch: ‘Alberto and The Beast’ – An Engrossing Sasquatch Short Film

The story of a man and a beast. This entrancing short film is titled Alberto and The Beast and it played at last year’s Toronto Film Festival. After screening at festivals it’s now online to enjoy – all 17 minutes of it. While working for a children’s show, a wildlife researcher encounters Bigfoot in the woods. Alberto and The Beast is written and directed by John Paul Lopez-Ali, starring Bruno Kanter as Alberto. (He looks a lot like Burn Gorman.) This is also the perfect companion piece to the other Bigfoot movie arriving in theaters later this month – Sasquatch Sunset from the Zellner Brothers (big fan of this film, highly recommend it). Both Sunset and Alberto approach sasquatches with the same sensibilities – they’re misunderstood creatures and humans shouldn’t just see them as a rare phenomenon to capture on camera. I do wish there was a bit more going on with Alberto and his new friend in this short, but it’s a good one anyway. Click on play below. // Continue Reading ›
