Actor-filmmaker Frank Mosley, star of Sundance Jury Prize winners “Upstream Color” and “The Procedure,” is set to play the lead in “Fur,” taking on the part of Albert Ostman, history’s first Bigfoot abductee – and reluctant romancer.

Directed by Austin-based Brad Abrahams, best known for cult doc-feature “Love and Saucers,” a Special Jury Prize at the 2017 Fantastic Fest, “Fur” will be presented at this week’s Frontières Market, which runs July 23-26 at Canada’s Fantasia Film Fest.

“Fur” tells the “loosely true” tale of Albert Ostman, a melancholic logger who heads into the Canadian wilderness in 1924 to pan for gold and change his fortunes, Abrahams told Variety in the run-up to Frontières.

Ostman’s escape into solitude is cut short when he’s violently abducted by a Sasquatch and taken to a cave it shares with its mate and their daughter. “As the days pass, Albert is pulled into a world of isolation,...

The post Watch: Short Films from the 2021 Filmfort Film Festival first appeared on Filmmaker Magazine.

If you’re looking for something really crazy and weird to watch, there’s a documentary currently streaming on Hulu and Amazon called Love & Saucers.

The documentary centers on a man who claims to have had a lifetime of alien abductions and even says he lost his virginity to a woman alien. This is someone that I could totally see Dr. Venkman interviewing on his show World of the Psychic.

To get the full effect of the strangeness of this whole thing, you have to watch the trailer. Here’s the synopsis that was released for the film.

The story of David Huggins, a 72 year-old man who claims to have had a lifetime of encounters with otherworldly beings - including an interspecies romance with an extra-terrestrial woman - and chronicled it all in surreal impressionist paintings.

See the strange story of David Huggins, a 73 year-old New Jersey man who claims to have had a lifetime of encounters with otherworldly beings (including an interspecies romance with an extraterrestrial woman with whom he lost his virginity). He has chronicled his experience in surreal impressionist paintings, few of which have ever been seen. Filmed in an intimate, nonjudgemental style, Love & Saucers lets David tell his story, and in turn lets the audience decide what is fact, fiction, and everything in-between. Love & Saucers will premiere in Austin, TX at Fantastic Fest during September 21-28th, 2017. Director Brad Abrahams and Producer Matt Ralston will be in attendance....
