Bigfoot made national news this week when a man from Cleveland County, N.C., called 911 to report a sighting of "a giant ape with a man's face," measuring 9 or 10 feet tall, with "beautiful hair." Outlets including CNN and late-night host Jimmy Fallon covered the news.

While gathering the latest Bigfoot news and headlines, I noticed an interesting and unusual trend: Independent film producers are creating movies about Bigfoot, and trying to find actors who can play the part. But it turns out these types of cinematic endeavors aren't easy, or financially rewarding.

Fellow Bigfoot fans, take note: Here are the latest sightings and news items that caught my attention.
