5m 41s
Beefy isn’t the world’s most famous lake monster. In fact, he’s not famous at all, but one man hopes to change that.
Enter Augustus Spring. A humble salesman by day, and a devoted folklorist by night, Augustus sets out to make a movie about Beefy, only to find that fame, like Beefy himself, is frustratingly out of reach.
Will Augustus succeed in making Beefy a household name, or will the elusive lake monster remain a legend?
Based on the prize-winning short story and produced in the style of a '70s Saturday Morning Cartoon, Beefy is a ‘monster movie’ like no other.
