Grindstone Entertainment Group has acquired all of the North American rights for the found footage thriller feature ‘Bigfoot County.’ The film will be released next winter by Grindstone through Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

‘Bigfoot County’ follows a group of filmmakers who venture into Siskiyou County in Northern California, an area which is known for its Bigfoot sightings. The group disappeared, and their footage was found a year later.

Stephon Stewart, who directed, produced and starred as Stephon Lancaster in ‘Bigfoot County,’ said he “went up to shoot a movie on Bigfoot, then a local I met with presented me with evidence that blew my mind.” The filmmaker added that after seeing ‘Bigfoot County,’ viewers “will begin to believe what many have doubted since the 1967 Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot Footage was released.”

Grindstone’s Ryan Black added that ‘Bigfoot County’ “puts a scary twist on a classic legend. Bigfoot enthusiasts and horror fans alike will really enjoy what Stewart has created.”
