Brigsby Bear Movie, LLC

BRIGSBY BEAR is one of the most Honest, Sincere, & Infectiously Fun movies you’ll see in a long time. Co-written and starring Saturday Night Live’s Kyle Mooney and directed by SNL’s Dave McCary (whom Kyle met in 4th Grade; they have been working together ever since – co-writer Kevin Costello came much later…in the 7th Grade), BRIGSBY BEAR will open in the US on July 28. “BRIGSBY BEAR is a film about friendship, family and nostalgia,” Kyle Mooney. (It is also about a man-sized teddy bear who repeatedly saves the galaxy with his twin-sister sidekicks, as well as super heroes, goodness, fantasy, pop-culture, imagination, dreams, fandom, creativity, and….)

Brigsby Bear is an exhilarating viewing experience. There’s a genuine sweetness to Mooney’s performance, and the entire movie.

Brigsby Bear is a love letter to storytelling, filmmaking and following your dreams.

Brigsby Bear understands what it feels like to have an attachment to a certain piece of pop culture that is deeper, perhaps disturbingly so, than anyone around you.

— John Defore, The Hollywood Reporter

Brigsby Bear will reaffirm your belief in the positive powers of imagination, and will make you feel good all over.
