Description

What does it mean to search for something that society tells you doesn't exist? In I Keep My Eyes Open, we explore the Maine woods through the eyes of Bigfoot investigators. Since the 1850’s, Mainers have reported evidence and sightings of an “eight foot tall ape-like creature with seven-foot long arms” from Yarmouth to Allagash. Living in an era where it seems that every corner of the earth has been mapped and parceled, the search for Bigfoot is an opportunity to return to a raw and vulnerable state of exploration and wonder in the Maine woods. This film profiles several individuals who search for this cryptid, or “creature that has been seen but not identified”, around the state.
