"Director: Morgan Matthews Starring: C. Thomas Biscardi, Wayne Burton, Rick Dyer, Morgan Matthews; Running time: 90 mins BAFTA-winning documentarian Morgan Matthews has emerged bruised and shaken from the San Antonio woodlands armed with a compelling and hilarious movie that&amp;#039;s created a palpable buzz at the 2013 Edinburgh Film Festival.  Shooting Bigfoot tracks various individuals, governed by delusion and determination, during their desperate attempts to prove the existence of the elusive creature that&amp;#039;s been the subject of countless hoaxes. But is the movie itself a hoax?  Much like its mysterious subject matter, there are clear bones of contention about the degree of its authenticity and veracity. That&amp;#039;s surely the intention of Matthews, to make the viewer embark on their own quest for truth and thus mirror the basis of the film. It all boils down to it being a quasi-religious exploration of faith.  Various tragi-comic individuals are encountered along the way, spanning the generations and using highly amusing methods like tinned mackerel and urine to entice Bigfoot out into the open. Many displays of their delusion provoke howls of laughter that resemble the hirsute beast&amp;#039;s mating call, a sound that one elderly hunter frequently produces to attract his target.  Yet, according to a quick trawl through the web, these people are real. It&amp;#039;s a strange world we inhabit, although the editing does these people few favours. Morgan, whose inquisitive &amp;#039;Brit out of water&amp;#039; style evokes a more abrasive Louis Theroux, mostly stays behind the camera until the bold finale takes the movie into Blair Witch territory. An extremely mirthful, eminently quotable (&amp;quot;Jane, get me a Snapple&amp;quot;) and provocative movie that also features an amiable former Navy Seal called Chico, Shooting Bigfoot has the potential to cross over into the mainstream and become a surprise hit.
