Beasts Undiscovered is a father-daughter wilderness comedy, similar in tone to Sundance darlings like Little Miss Sunshine and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, but set in the Rockies, and with the addition of Jim Henson fantasy elements.
Jake discovered the Loch Ness monster, but that was decades ago, and since then he’s become embittered, having watched his younger, cooler, better-looking rivals discover one amazing thing after another while he’s proven himself a one-hit-wonder. Now he’s divorced, and his daughter Sarah barely speaks to him. But when Sarah inadvertently brings Jake a clue to finding one of mythology’s rarest creatures, he’ll beg, borrow, and steal to mount one last expedition, dragging his reluctant daughter into the spectacular Rocky Mountains, where he hopes to get himself back on top, and where Jake and Sarah just might rediscover the sense of wonder they once shared.
About the production: We recently received a six-figure grant to aid in the production of our film, we have begun work with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop building creature effects, and we have partnered with acclaimed production, finance, and sales company Myriad Pictures to arrange distribution worldwide. These partnerships allow us to make our film on a much grander scale than most independent films, but we need to bring our share of the investment in order to unlock the potential of our partners, and your support can help get us across the finish line.
