In the fall of 2014 I belonged to a film club at my college where I was on the board. My job was to read script submissions and approve them, or provide editing and feedback, to get them a budget and start them going into production.
One of these films was … well.
To be honest I was ready to approve it the minute I read the title. But the script itself was really funny too. So I cleared them to get a budget, which included Sasquatch costumes. I sadly wasn’t there when they filmed it because I was in LA at the time doing a semester at our satellite school. But film it they did.
Come 2015, and the Snowpocalypse hit. There were a couple of film students stranded on campus, with Sasquatch costumes, with nothing much to do.
What better way to get a second use out of those things than to go roaming in the snowy streets and give people a laugh or a spook?
So that’s the reason I’m responsible for some of the “yeti” sightings during the 2015 Boston Snowpocalypse. Because I approved their budget.
