Synopsis
Bigfoot’s Eulogy poses questions about friendship and love in a ways at once funnny, sad, and disarmingly charming. It also asks, “What would it be like to live with Bigfoot?” While sensitive, cookie-loving Bill the Bigfoot looks for an apartment, he finds a friend and roommate in lonely Fred. Despite the occasional argument about the hair-covered shower, the two understand each other as only best friends can. But what happens when lonely Fred secretly steals Bigfoot’s date? Fred falls instantly for Patsy, a Bigfoot herself. Can friendship trump jealousy? Beautifully animated, Bigfoot’s Eulogy is a heartwarming fable of friendship exploring the results of an absurd love triangle. To create the film’s distinct textural feel, hundreds of textures where scanned--paper, cardboard, cats, dogs, and the old fur coats of Stephen Neary’s grandmother completed the look.
