Casting Overview

After revealing he had an encounter with Bigfoot, Uncle Shizzle sends two young filmmakers to find Le Grand Pied in the French countryside. The filmmakers, Zadie and Kaya, travel to Normandy where they inquire after sightings but run into stiff resistance from the villagers. With the assistance of a local opera singer, they use music to lure the creature from the forest, until a light shoots from the beast and knocks them both out. Zadie and Kaya try to make sense of what happened, until the evil village mayor forces them out of town. After learning a ruthless hunter is on his way to kill the magical beast, our heroes must rally the town-folk and lead them into the forest to save Le Grand Pied.
