Big News: Bad Day for Bigfoot Production Is Officially a Go
Bad Day for Bigfoot will begin filming in the backwoods of Eastern Oregon this June! Following the path forged by Breakup Season — filmed right here in La Grande — this highly anticipated production is set to bring an unparalleled surge of creative fun and high-energy excitement directly to the Grande Ronde Valley. The genre-bending journey, which masterfully weaves humor, suspense, and heart, will leverage the region’s dynamic creative scene and stunning natural backdrop.
Beyond the creative buzz, this film production is making a tangible commitment to Eastern Oregon’s economy by investing directly into the local community throughout every stage of filming. This dedicated production spending will directly fuel local businesses, covering needs from lodging at local hotels, inns, and vacation rentals to dining at local restaurants, cafés, and caterers, as well as utilizing services from area vendors, hardware stores, rental shops, artists, and tradespeople. By choosing La Grande as its home base, Bad Day for Bigfoot is not just making a movie—it is powerfully strengthening Eastern Oregon’s future as a destination for independent filmmaking.
