FOREWORD
"Hello, I’m Todd Partain, The Director of "Eyes In The Dark: The Sasquatch Experience" This is a very personal project for me due to my own frightening childhood experience.
I was shocked to discover how well my hip-pocket funded documentary is doing. I am not a scientist or an expert on BigFoot, just an ordinary guy with a job and a family to support.
Halfway through the making of this film I was diagnosed with cancer, I survived chemotherapy with the love and prayers of family and friends, and with a passion to finish this project, Sasquatch saved my life, for now.
I plan to use the proceeds from this video to continue to make documentaries about these events as long as I am physically able, and to benefit Chimp Haven here in NorthWest Louisiana. Thank You for taking the time to stop by."
Sincerely, Todd Partain
