NO! NO! NO! Leaves aspiring actress Panacea even more desperate for a role on the stage. With a father who no longer believes in her and one last chance to audition, will her unyielding passion be enough or get her kicked out of the theatre forever ?

​

Pursued by a Bear is a twelve-minute dark comedy about perseverance and HOPE. Set in a dark, grungy theatre, populated with maniacal, wannabe actors, we explore the crossroads between healthy competition and ruthless desperation. The feeling of nervous laughter when Grace dumps the neighbors body into the swimming pool in Keeping Mum... the absurdity of dining on "just a wafer thin slice" in Monty Python... the delightful smashing of the mafia convertible with a golf club when Adam doesn't get his way in Mulholland Drive. Heartbreaking and hilarious, Pursued by a Bear is both a quirky love letter to  the theatre and harkening to the (occasional) cruelty of show business. The film is for anyone who has ever DREAMED, anyone who has ever been told NO. How far will our darling Panacea go to get the part ?
