Nash Edgerton takes his Bear to Cannes
Nash Edgerton’s short film Bear will screen in competition at next month’s Cannes Film Festival.
“To be honest, when I got the call I thought someone was pranking me. It’s a huge honor that Bear has been selected and I haven’t stopped smiling. I’ve always wanted to have a film there and I’m just so thankful to everyone who pitched in to help get it made,” said Edgerton.
“It’s very exciting and totally surreal that this time next month we’ll be premiering it in competition at Cannes,” he added.
Bear stars Nash Edgerton, Teresa Palmer and Warwick Thornton. In this short, Jack has a new girlfriend, but hasn’t quite learned his lesson.
The story was co-written by Edgerton and David Michod, and shot by cinematographer Adam Arkapaw. Bear was produced by Lauren Edwards and John Polson, and financed by Billabong, fxphd and Movie Network Channels.
