Podcast appearances and mentions of christophe zajac denek

Trey Elling chats with the cast & writers/directors at the SXSW world premiere of SASQUATCH SUNSET. The film hits theaters on April 19th. Guests include: Jesse Eisenberg (0:00) David Zellner (0:49) Nathan Zellner (1:16) Christophe Zajac-Denek (1:49)

'Sasquatch Sunset' stars Jesse Eisenberg, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner — who co-directed with brother and writer David Zellner — join the show to discuss this weird, absurd, surprisingly moving and beautiful film about a family of Sasquatches trying to survive the year in a changing world. And since they filmed the production in Bigfoot country of Willow Creek, California, they also discuss their own potential Squatchy sightings, or being mistaken for a real Bigfoot while in costume. More about Sasquatch Sunset: In the misty forests of North America, a family of Sasquatches—possibly the last of their enigmatic kind— embark on an absurdist, epic, hilarious, and ultimately poignant journey over the course of one year. These shaggy and noble giants fight for survival as they find themselves on a collision course with the ever-changing world around them. Starring Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg, Christophe Zajac-Denek and written by David Zellner, and directed by David and his brother Nathan — who also appears as the Alpha Squatch in the movie. _______________________________________________________________ Talking Strange Paranormal Podcast with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as learned experts in all things strange and unexplained.

I got to sit down with the minds behind the Sasquatch Sunset film, David and Nathan Zellner. We discussed thor approach to the making of the movie, as well as the how and why. The Zellner brothers, bring us the whimsical and surreal American comedy "Sasquatch Sunset." Written by David and featuring a stellar cast including Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner himself, the film whimsically follows the adventures of a Sasquatch family over the course of a year. With the talented Ari Aster as an executive producer under Square Peg, the film made its debut at the prestigious 2024 Sundance Film Festival on January 19. Scheduled for release by Bleecker Street on April 12, 2024, "Sasquatch Sunset" promises to be a delightful and offbeat cinematic experience.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Book Sasquatch Unleashed The Truth Behind The LegendLeave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Hangar 1 PublishingFactor Meals Use Code ODYSSEY50 At CheckoutBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Doctors told his parents that he might never be able to ride a bike or go for a run. Today, Christophe stands at four feet, four inches tall. He can't bend his back and the bones in his legs have been surgically altered. Despite his physical limitations, Christophe gets out on the water to surf anytime he can. Connect with Christophe: InstagramWebsitePodcastStanding On Water film

My good friend Christophe joins me to talk about what it's like being a little person in a world where differences are often met with adversity. He's opening up about some of the hurdles he faces with dating, working in Hollywood, and how he's' learning to love and accept himself. And although his height can be a non-negotiable to some people, he's learning how to define his ideal partner to the universe so that he'll know that person when he sees them. We'll talk about why height is important to some people, and how he's able to use it to his advantage, even in the bedroom.With all of the value that we put on outward appearances, this important conversation will remind you why what's inside is all that matters. You'll want to follow Christophe and check out his podcast,  "I'm Kind of a Big Deal," to hear more inspiring stories of little people doing big things.Connect with Jayna Swan:www.jaynaswan.comInstagram @jayna.swanKeypoints:“Your gift might not come wrapped the way you thought it was going to be wrapped.” - Jayna Swan“You're not getting to live a full life if you're judging people from the outside.” - Jayna Swan“Do something as much as you can, and then pivot to the next weirdest thing.” - Christophe Zajac-Denek

We know, we know. It has been a MINUTE! And for somewhat good reason! Mike has had what can only be described deeply cursed 2022, so he and PJ are back to make their now-highly-irregular sacrifice to the Ketchup Gods. Hopefully, this will free him from such continuous misfortune. Cheating Russian robots, rebellious penguins, "Trump's girth," and crab-enriched whiskey await you in this week's episode... But also: bankrupt crypto lenders, exploding appendices, and attempted hit-and-runs! (Can you guess which group of nonsense is from this week's stories and which afflicted Mike this year? Only one way to find out!) Fun Fact: The vertically challenged assassin from Twin Peaks: The Return is named Ike "The Spike" Stadtler. He's portrayed by Christophe Zajac-Denek, whose breakthrough role was as a physical stand-in for an animated alien in the utterly forgotten Simon Pegg/Nick Frost romp Paul.

What if you were born with a rare form of dwarfism, and the doctors told your parents that you would never lead a normal life, that things like running, biking, or even walking without assistance might not be possible for you? 4'4, Actor/Stuntman, Pro Drummer, ​podcaster, and Surfer, Christophe Zajac Denek, found it challenging to watch the other kids grow taller around him, but he didn't want to let that deter him from living life to the fullest. But what would you do if society told you to stay small, but you knew that you were meant for greater things? Would you decide to just take the roles that were assigned to you? Or would you shock everyone and become an in-demand drummer, actor, and a stuntman, and let the whole world know that you were “kind of a big deal”?

Christophe Zajac-Denek has lived a fascinating life. Originally from Detroit Michigan, Christophe was born with a rare form of dwarfism called Cartilage Hair Hypoplasia. He has worked as a TV producer, a drummer in a rock band, an actor, a stuntman. Nowadays, he's living in Southern California, where he is an avid surfer, photographer, freelance journalist, and the creator and host of the podcast “I'm Kind of a Big Deal,” which focuses on the unique lives of people with dwarfism. He chose the book “Little Legs, Big Heart” by Kristen DeAndrade. This episode is a perfect example of how a book can be a window and a mirror. Christophe related with Kristen's life – down to the smell of the hospital rooms they've both spent a lot of time in. I was forced to reckon with the daily tolls of life with dwarfism that I had been blind to before. He is funny and raw and thoughtful, and I know you are going to love this episode.   Support the Best Book Ever Podcast on Patreon   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram/Facebook   Guest: Christophe Zajac-Denek Instagram/Podcast   Discussed in this episode: Little Legs, Big Heart: One Girl's Journey of Acceptance, Perseverance, and Growth by Kristen DeAndrade The Catcher in the Rye by J.
