First Trailer for Sundance Breakout 'Brigsby Bear' Starring Kyle Mooney

Written by

“May our minds be stronger tomorrow.” Sony Classics has revealed the first trailer for indie film Brigsby Bear, one of the breakout hits of the Sundance Film Festival this year. The film stars Kyle Mooney (from SNL) as a kid who has grown up locked in an underground bunker, watching one and only one TV show over-and-over – called Brigsby Bear. One day everything stops, and he has to deal with the real world. That’s all I’ll say, because this film is best experienced without knowing much more than that. The cast includes Mark Hamill, Greg Kinnear, Claire Danes, Ryan Simpkins, Andy Samberg, Michaela Watkins, Jane Adams, and Chance Crimin. The film played at Sundance and Cannes (read my glowing review) and it’s a special film, for many reasons, but most of all it’s a lover letter to the power of storytelling. Enjoy. ›››
