After months of build-up the Minerva Monster documentary is now available on DVD, Blu-Ray and internet streaming services. Orders can be placed through GrassmanGear.com and digitally screened at Vimeo.com. On June 6th the Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an event to herald the release of the film in downtown Minerva. Free screenings of the film will take place at the historic Roxy Theatre.
In addition to the film, Marc DeWerth will be giving a presentation titled “The Buckeye Bigfoot… Myth or Reality?”. Minerva Monster director, Seth Breedlove, and producers will be hosting two presentations. One devoted to the incidents around the Cayton home and another that explores the making of the film. Snack vendors will be present as well as concessions being sold at the Roxy. Bigfoot and local arts and crafts vendors will also be setting up to sell various merchandise.
“In August of 1978 a small town in eastern Ohio was thrust into the spotlight when a local family sighted a “monster” in the woods behind their home. Over subsequent evenings they were repeatedly visited by the creature culminating in a late-night encounter that ended in local police being called in. The story blasted onto the front pages of newspapers across the state and into the consciousness of a nation.”
The film is directed by Seth Breedlove, and produced by Jesse Morgan and Alan Megargle with an original score by composer, Brandon Dalo. All four are Northeast Ohio natives. Minerva Monster is the first in a series of documentaries called Small Town Monsters.
