Thank you to all who came out last night for the Wheelersburg Cinema screening!  It was really special to all of us to screen the film theatrically near our hometowns in southern Ohio.  We really appreciate theater owners Brent & Brandy Hobbs bringing the film to the big screen in Scioto County.  Keep in mind that yesterday was just the second day of screenings at Wheelersburg Cinema, and you can check out a number of screenings from now through Thursday, May 19th still taking place there.

Last night was a special screening with several people involved in the making of the film in attendance, including:

  • Dallas Gilbert, Bigfoot researcher / subject
  • Wayne Burton, Bigfoot researcher / subject
  • Jay Delaney, Director / Producer
  • Jeff Montavon, Executive Producer / Sound Mixer
  • Ben Colburn, Musician who contributed to the original music in the film
  • Chris Gilbert, Dallas’s wife who also appeared in the film

I also appreciate that my fiancee Erin and my family (Mom, Ed, Aunt Wanda, Uncle Joe, Aunt Cherie, and Garrett) were all in attendance too.

Below are some photos from the evening.  You can see larger images in the photo gallery (be sure to scroll down).

Post image for Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie Returns to Southern Ohio at the Wheelersburg Cinema 6 beginning Friday, May 13, 2011

Bigfoot is coming back to southern Ohio.  We’re excited to let you know that Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie will be screening at the Wheelersburg Cinema 6 beginning Friday, May 13, 2011.  For those who don’t know, Wheelersburg, Ohio is just outside of Portsmouth, where much of the film was shot.

I’m planning to drive in from Chicago to attend the screening on Saturday, May 14th.  Dallas, Wayne, and Jeff are also planning to be there, and we’re hoping Shane can make it in as well.

As a kid, Wheelersburg Cinemas was the closest thing I had to a “hometown movie theater.”  It’s where I watched many movies, including Batman, so it’s pretty awesome to be screening Bigfoot there.

Wheelersburg Cinema 6 is located at 8805 Ohio River Road in Wheelersburg, Ohio.  We’ll share showtimes with you when we get them from the theater.  You can visit the theater’s website at www.wheelersburgcinema6.com
