29 Oct
Summary
- "Hey Bear" is the feature debut of "Portlandia" co-creator Jonathan Krisel
- Mia Goth, Zach Galifianakis, and Dan Stevens to star in the offbeat revenge comedy
- Story follows a woman seeking revenge on the bear that mauled her husband to death
In the upcoming dark comedy "Hey Bear," a woman named Claire, played by Mia Goth, embarks on a revenge mission after the bear that killed her husband is merely relocated instead of euthanized. The film, directed by "Portlandia" co-creator Jonathan Krisel, is set to be introduced to buyers at the upcoming American Film Market (AFM).
Claire has always lived her life based on others' expectations, including accommodating her husband Gregory's (Dan Stevens) desire to study bears in Glacier National Park. During one of her visits, a grizzly bear, nicknamed Mr. Cranky by Gregory, mauls him to death. Devastated, Claire learns the bear has merely been transported to another national park, leading her to team up with the socially awkward park ranger Putt (Zach Galifianakis) to assassinate the bear.
Described as a "coming of rage" story, "Hey Bear" promises a darkly comedic rollercoaster ride filled with originality and surprise. The film's producers, Alix Madigan and Carrie Kemper, have assembled a dream team of Goth, Stevens, and Galifianakis to bring this offbeat premise to life. With HanWay Films handling international sales and WME Independent & UTA Independent Film Group representing North America, "Hey Bear" is poised to captivate audiences with its unique blend of grief, empowerment, and dark humor.
