Bear

About This Project

Julie Lipson, Filmmaker

About: Bear tracks Blake, a classical cellist and cello teacher in his early sixties who has retreated into isolation after the death of his wife. When Blake’s daughter comes to visit, she finds her father becoming visibly obsessed with a black bear that has been sighted repeatedly on his property.

Outcomes: Bear has been submitted to several film festivals in the 15 minutes and under the short film category.

“The grant from the KSF meant I was able to take control of my own project and direct my own writing.”
