What is Creature Weekend?
Creature Weekend is a conference dedicated to the exploration and discussion of Cryptozoology. Held annually in Cambridge, Ohio, the conference attracts researchers from all over the USA and features speakers on various cryptozoological topics. Whether you are an experienced researcher, armchair enthusiast, or someone who would like to learn about the exciting field of cryptozoology, Creature Weekend offers something for everyone in a friendly and fun environment. We regularly have workshops that teach beginners and veterans the proper way to collect potential evidence for the existence of Cryptids and offer hikes into the field for a real investigative experience. We also sponsor a Summer Campout that is a family friendly way to share your experiences and best practices in the field with others who share your passion

SPECIAL MOVIE SCREENING OF “CULTURED BIGFOOT” followed by Q&A session with Directors & Producers Bill & Amy Lancaster
“Cultured Bigfoot” a film by Bill Lancaster
Written and narrated by Amy Lancaster
Co-Produced, Directed by Bill & Amy Lancaster
Bill and Amy are a husband and wife team living in southwest Virginia. Together they are small business owners who also enjoy cryptozoology and other fringe subjects.
With Bill’s background in photography the couple decided to venture into movie making as a way to further engage their interests. “Cultured Bigfoot” is the result of this inspiration. Bill and Amy hope to use the experience gained from this their first documentary to further develop their share passion into future film projects.
“Cultured Bigfoot takes a look at a sub-culture within a sub-culture, focusing on the people who search for the elusive Bigfoot with more than just belief in its existence. A well-thought-out film that displays the passion from not only the filmmakers, but a community of people searching for something that could not only break scientific boundaries, but pop-culture as we know it.”-Author Stephen J.Semones
