From WIS News 10, Columbia, SC
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) – Local filmmakers are showing off their creations in Columbia this weekend as part of the Indie Grits Film Festival.
Friday night a movie is being shown where WIS’ Hannah Horne made a cameo appearance as a Miami news anchor!
“The Long Way Home – A Bigfoot Story” is the work of local attorney, Bubba Cromer, who also stars in the film.
It’s the story of a washed up reporter who is lured back to his North Carolina roots to investigate big foot sightings.
Is it a trick to get him back home, or could it be that bigfoot is making tracks there?
The film is showing Friday night at 8pm at the Arcade Mall Theatre on Columbia’s Main Street for $5.Bryce Mursch
And from the Indie Grits Film Festival website:
The Long Way Home: A Bigfoot Story
(Fri. 6/1, 8-10pm Arcade Mall)
Bubba Cromer, Columbia, SC, 71 min.
Despondent reporter returns home to NC to investigate string of Bigfoot sightings
The Long Way Home: A Bigfoot Story is a motion picture about a despondent, former writer for the Miami Herald who finds himself at his lowest point of alcoholism and bi-polar manic-depression in a bar in South Beach, Florida. Bellied-up to that bar, he sees a news flash on the television that highlights Bigfoot sightings in his hometown of Indian Camp Mountain, North Carolina. At that point, the writer is moved in a moment of clarity to flee Miami, move back home to Transylvania County, North Carolina, and investigate this story in an effort to resurrect his career and legitimize his life. Once home in North Carolina, the writer begins to interview everyone he can find to determine the truth or falsity of the Bigfoot sightings. Aside from the writer’s father, the local Sheriff of 40 years, and an eerie local serpent handler, the majority of the interviews revolve around patrons of a local watering hole called “Bob’s Place.”
And here is the trailer for the film from youtube:
