Seth Breedlove and his father were scouting around Fouke, Arkansas for an upcoming documentary at the Boggy Creek Festival in Fouke. We talked shop as we were also in the area for some B roll filming.
I grabbed a copy of the first film from his Company Small Town Monsters at his booth and hurried home with it.
And for someone's first film......I was thoroughly impressed.
The entire story is told from the perspective of people who were there and who witnessed the events or their aftermath.
You the viewer will feel as though you are
simply sitting in a room with the person on camera, hearing their story.
The story telling is incredibly well done, especially considering the fact that it is completely narrated by eyewitness and/or persons involved testimony. Never once did I feel something was “missing” from the story without dedicated narration. And as someone who is currently filming, I understand the interview process and how tedious it can be and the amount of time to get certain sections of the story in such a way that it could be placed together as seamlessly as the resulting finished product.
Overall, Minerva Monster is a great examination of a small town and its claim to cryptozoological fame. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in cryptozoology.
More exciting things coming from these guys... keep watching out for Small Town Monsters.
