Found Footage: The Making of The Patterson Project Unleashes Trailer for Bigfoot Horror Mockumentary

Brennan Keel Cook leads a cursed Bigfoot shoot in Found Footage, a mockumentary nightmare from the team behind Scream.

One of the films we’ve been keeping an eye on this week—both here and on The Final Cut—is Max Tzannes’s wild, genre-twisting horror-mockumentary Found Footage: The Making of The Patterson Project. Yesterday, Vertical dropped the official trailer, and it’s safe to say this one’s about to shake up the found footage game.

Blending faux doc chaos with the unease of on-set horror, The Patterson Project follows a ragtag film crew attempting to make a Bigfoot movie on a laughably low budget. But when mysterious events start to unravel during production, the crew quickly realizes they’ve wandered into a real-life nightmare. The lines blur. The cameras don’t stop rolling. And the monster might not be acting.

Directed by Max Tzannes and starring Brennan Keel Cook, the film is backed by the Radio Silence team—the same folks behind the recent Scream entries. If that doesn’t raise your eyebrows, the concept will: a French doc crew chronicling the trainwreck production of a found footage Bigfoot movie that becomes a found footage nightmare. Meta horror at its messiest.

Found Footage: The Making of The Patterson Project hits theaters June 20 and lands On Demand June 24. Fans of Blair Witch, Deadstream, and cursed movie sets, take note—this one’s got teeth.
