I found this buried under concert dvds at a record store in the middle of nowhere, "known as the lost viewaskew film" more or less sums it up. It's a bad flick, but a hardcore smith fan will enjoy it for the commentary in which Kevin holds the floor (while only making a brief cameo in the actual flick). By the looks of it, they had a great time shooting it, reminds me of getting drunk in Vancouver. Jason Lee's ok, and Mosier wears a diaper, but for the most part I can't imagine spending 40'000 bucks on a flick with almost no jokes in it. A worthy addition to any home askewuniverse but unless you've watched the commentary's on mallrats and chasing amy as many times as the pictures themselves then this is probably a inconvenient waste of money. (But necessary in order to complete the set, and therfore prove your unflinching adoration for lord Smith....can someone please tell me why I like this guy so much? damn, I keep giving him my money....)

well to be fair this is only a PRODUCED film. Kevin Smith did a cameo and I think produced. So you can't say "oh Kevin Smith did a BAD JOB". This was just produced, actually just between Mallrats and Chasing Amy.
It's a low budget flick about people going out in the woods looking for big foot. And one of several that View Askew produced around that time including "Tail Lights Fade", "Vulgar" and "Big Helium Dog". Its not a great flick but interesting to see some of the Mallrats cast reunited in different roles.
The interesting thing is.. wasn't this kind of shot hand held ala Blair Witch the film with credited starting the whole found footage while this film pre-dates that one by a good three years.
