Capturing Bigfoot - Official Trailer

Take a look at the Official Trailer for Capturing Bigfoot, a documentary following the story of Roger Patterson’s pursuit of Bigfoot, distributed by XYZ Films. Navigate the woods of Northern California in Capturing Bigfoot, coming to theaters and on Prime Video on October 20, 2026.

The documentary follows the story of Roger Patterson’s pursuit of Bigfoot, who on October 20, 1967, captured 59 seconds of film showing a creature (dubbed “Patty”) walking through the woods of Northern California—footage that became the most analyzed and debated in history. When a reel of 16mm film discovered in a safe five decades later blows the legend wide open, the people who were there come together to give the full picture.

Director Marq Evans (“Claydream”) and producer Tamir Ardon (“Claydream,” “Skywalkers: A Love Story”) infuse this story of family and fabulists with a striking emotional heft, featuring never-before-seen archival footage and original interviews with figures both famous and infamous within the vibrant Bigfoot community. Including Bob Heironimus, Bob Gimlin, Jeff Meldrum, Greg Long, Bill Munns, as well as Roger’s own son, Clint Patterson, and Clint’s mother, Patricia Patterson, both of whom have never before engaged in interviews on the subject. In whole, the doc amounts to the most momentous shake-up of the billion-dollar Bigfoot industry to hit the big screen since Patterson himself toured the nation with his proof of Patty.

Capturing Bigfoot is coming soon.
