Special Staged Reading: Bad Day for Bigfoot
📍 Wednesday, October 15, 2025
📍 Schwartz Theater, Eastern Oregon University – La Grande, OR
Eastern Oregon Film Festival is excited to kick off its sixteenth annual celebration with a special bonus event — a live staged reading of the upcoming feature film Bad Day for Bigfoot.
Filmmakers Zach Green and Devin O’Rourke, recent participants in EOFF’s Filmmaker Field Trip program, are returning to the valley with their new project: a genre-bending, sci-fi comedy rooted in the rural wilds of Eastern Oregon. With plans to shoot the film locally in June 2026, this staged reading offers a first look at the script and a chance to connect with the filmmakers behind it.
HUGE HAND FOR OUR CAST OF READERS: Kevin Cahill, Charles Peters, Joshua King, Gregory Rawlins, Eva Ceja, Rikke Finbraten, Garrett Moyes, Zen Califf, Elaine Swanson, Zach Green and Devin O’Rourke.
Reserve your seat with a festival pass and get access to this event plus a weekend of independent film, music, and community magic.
🗓️ October 15 + 16–18, 2025 📍 La Grande, Oregon & Online

This event also marks the launch of a community-driven fundraising campaign to support the production of Bad Day for Bigfoot. Our goal is to raise $50,000 in local support to help move the film into pre-production. Be part of Oregon’s growing indie film legacy!
