Radio Silence—the team behind Scream V and Scream VI—presents a fresh meta-horror entry with Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project. The mockumentary opens in U.S. theaters on June 20, with a digital and on-demand rollout following June 24.

Director Max Tzannes co-writes the film alongside David San Miguel, partnering with cinematographer-editor Jacob Souza to capture both behind-the-scenes chaos and on-camera terror. Producer Tyler Friesen leads the project, while Radio Silence’s Chad Villella, Tyler Gillett, and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin serve as executive producers.

The story follows an enthusiastic yet under-funded filmmaker determined to craft “the world’s greatest” found-footage horror film about Bigfoot. A French documentary crew documents the production, only to witness unexplained events that blur the boundary between staged scares and genuine threat. As pressure mounts, the cast and crew—portrayed by Brennan Keel Cook (The Pale Blue Eye), Chen Tang (Warrior), Erika Vetter (Somebody I Used to Know), and Dean Cameron (Straight Outta Compton)—realize they may be starring in a frighteningly authentic found-footage scenario of their own.
