Summary

"Sasquatch Sunset" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it polarized audiences with its unique vision from the Zellner Brothers. Told almost without any dialogue, the actors were completely covered head to toe in makeup to become Sasquatches, and they take us on an unforgettable journey only David and Nathan Zellner could provide. Makeup and Hair Designer Steve Newburn was kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to watch at home on physical, digital, and VOD and is up for your consideration for all eligible categories at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Makeup & Hairstyling.
