“The Misadventures of Bear” my short film has been released

My short film THE MISADVENTURES OF BEAR has been released and you can check it out on Vimeo, and give a good review if you feel so inclined.

The short was a semi finalist in 5 Film Festivals and an Official Selection in 3! The Los Angeles International Children’s Film Festival which showed at Wondercon 2023 and the San Diego International Children’s Film Festival at Comic Con 2023were really the highlights (you can see some photos at the films website), so much so that I am working on a sequel that can hopefully go back to some of these festivals!

This was a fun little film to make, a way to show off my ability to shoot as well as to do visual effects and to do some puppetry as I grew up with the Muppets and have always loved Puppets.

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.

You can also check the film’s web site, where I plan on posting some more background stuff.

LA International Children’s Film Festival Supporting a young Ukranian Filmmaker for it’s Festival at Wondercon 2023

My short film The Misadventures of Bear is going to playing at the Los Angeles International Children’s Film Festival at Wondercon this year on Saturday March 25th in the 1:00 PM showing in Room 303AB of Anaheim Convention Center. I will post when it is able to be viewed after it finished it’s appearance in all the festivals it has been accepted in.

Anyway, on to the important bit, the Festival is supporting a 12 year old Ukrainian Filmmaker and wants to bring her to festival, but it needs to raise the money to do so, so they have started a GoFundme Page for her to bring her here for the festival.

Please consider giving to the GoFund me to bring her from Poland for festival.

She has 2 amazing documentary films about her experience in the war, and they are a must see.

And here is her Facebook page.

And for the Los Angeles International Children’s Film Festival, here is their Instagram, and Twitter. And Wondercon’s Twitter.

https://themisadventuresofbear.com/I have build a web site for my short here, and it will eventually be able to view there. I am also going to be working on some behind the scenes features that will be posting here as well.

This is the first full fledged short, but I have 3 earlier Misadventures of Bear Shorts as well, that can be viewed here.
