Maryland stoner/slacker Jimmy Tupper has passed out drunk in the woods. No one believes him when he emerges bloodied and beaten, supposedly by the long-rumored local monster. Now Jimmy's determined to return to the woods with a camera to prove his claims.
Longer Description: Jimmy Tupper is a no one, he's nothing. He spends his days working at a Starbucks in Suburban Maryland and spends his nights drinking and playing Rock Band. His friends see him as the resident stoner and waste of space. One night they decide to pull a prank on poor Jimmy, and while he is passed out drunk they leave him in the middle of the woods. The next day Jimmy is nowhere to be found. When he finally emerges from the woods he is beaten and bloodied and making outlandish claims. He claims to have seen a monster, the famed "Goatman" of Bowie. His friends believe this to be the drunken ramblings of an over excited nitwit, but Jimmy knows better. He heads to the woods determined to capture footage of the elusive creature. Was Jimmy only dreaming? Did he really see a monster? Only time, and Jimmy's video camera, will tell.
Premiered at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival.
Nominee for Audience Favorite Award, Midnight Screenings at SXSW
Directed by prolific alt/indie filmmaker Andrew Bowser
