The Python Hunt

Directed by Xander Robin
United States
2025
91 mins

Every year, the Florida government calls upon the general public to compete in an invasive python removal contest in the Everglades in an attempt to save the threatened ecosystem. For ten grueling nights, an eclectic group of amateur hunters confront the dangerous terrain, nocturnal creatures and their own desires. Meanwhile, one professional hunter leads the charge to undermine the competition, questioning what hides beneath the python mania gripping the ‘glades.

Called ‘the next Tiger King’ by Deadline after the film’s SXSW premiere, _The Python Hunt _is a truly entertaining documentary that is sure to break-out when released. This is a documentary filled with insane memorable characters and incredible skin crawling scenes of angry Burmese pythons.
