The 5th annual Pocono Mountains Film Festival is dedicated to Kamila Nurideen

"To Those I Love When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I travel alone. So grieve for a while for me if you must, then let your grief be confronted by trust..."

Excerpts from the POCONO RECORD newspaper

Filmmaker has spent decades trying to prove Bigfoot exists

MICHAEL SADOWSKI Pocono Record August 05, 2007

SHAWNEE-ON-DELAWARE — Is there a half-man, half-ape "Bigfoot" creature lurking the woods of Paris, Texas? Or near the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona? Or near Portsmouth, Ohio? Tom Biscardi thinks there is. The documentary producer has spent 36 years of his life trying to prove its existence. The weirdest part is he doesn't just think there's one Bigfoot — he thinks there are thousands roaming North America. Some, he said, are even here in the Poconos. "In Pennsylvania, there have been nine encounters in the last few months," he said before screening his film, "Bigfoot Lives" at the Pocono Mountains Film Festival at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort on Saturday. "And even a few within a 15-mile radius of right here." .....

..... Biscardi, who answered questions after showing his movie, also brought in new footage he hadn't released yet of a simian-like creature walking in the same Paris, Texas, woods where his son claimed to have had an encounter with the beast. Biscardi himself even claims to have had six encounters (note the use of the word "encounter" rather than "sighting"), and believes there to be more than 3,000 species of these animals roaming the North American woods. Scott Marlow, a Florida zoologist who works with Biscardi, said he believes the creatures are very primate-like, descended from a different ancestor than the one that led to the formation of human beings......
