Dave Pederson

Dave Pederson is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and producer best known for Super Size Me, The Third Wave, and Americonned. With over two decades of experience exposing uncomfortable truths and amplifying unheard voices, Dave brings a sharp eye and sharper wit to The Bigfoot Manifesto.
Equal parts curious skeptic and cultural excavator, Dave is on a lifelong quest to uncover the hidden systems shaping our lives—whether it’s economic injustice, corporate propaganda, or the myths we tell ourselves to sleep at night. His work blends investigative rigor with emotional depth, creating space for meaningful conversation, absurdist humor, and the occasional cryptid sighting.
When he’s not podcasting from the shadows of society’s blind spots, Dave teaches documentary filmmaking, consults on social impact media, and hikes just slow enough to let Bigfoot catch up.
