​A sincere thanks for your interest in supporting Bears, an independent documentary celebrating the bear community. We couldn't do this without you.

​

Our team, which includes an Emmy-winning casting producer and two-time Emmy-nominated producer, has produced various shows across HBO, Netflix, Hulu, etc. A UTA agent is championing Bears in this early phase to help secure full financing. The editor of John Wick 4, Ghostbusters, and Saturday Night is editing the pilot presentation. Les K. Wright, bear historian and scholar, is helping to inform our approach. Most people involved are currently donating time and equipment.

​

On a personal note, Bears is a love letter. It’s also an encouragement to live joyfully and authentically. The bear community has been a source of many gifts in my life. Shared stories; a sense of belonging; examples of healthy masculinity; genuine support; camaraderie; and feelings of liberation in my body. I've seen the community help friends discover deeper authenticity and tap into pure joy.

​​

In that spirit, I hope Bears is a window for some, and a door for others. Big bear hugs.
