"The Bears Are Coming!" trailer (11 mins)

This is the first of the BearFest pieces, featuring February's "Mardi Gras" Launch-Party, when we were first introduced to the pristine bears and to all the (135) artists' submissions for the contest.

The next video (see below), "The Bears Are HERE...!" follows-on from this one, and features the actual unveiling of the finished bears in June.

The trailer for "The Bears are Coming..!" was shown on local Community Access stations [Easthampton's Channel 5 (ECAT), ACTV (Amherst) and NCTV (Northampton)], during March and April, and "The Bears Are HERE...!" was shown on ECAT and NCTV last month and is showing on ACTV (Amherst) both this week and next week.

Duration : 11 minutes.

Any artists whom I haven't interviewed yet who would like to be included in the "Souvenir" video and/or the proposed final documentary, please get in touch.

The Bears Are HERE...! (20 minutes)

Easthampton's wonderful bears have ARRIVED..!

The June 13th Grand Unveiling was a tremendous success, and thousands of people flocked into Easthampton to see, and be photographed with, all our bears. "Bears everywhere!" just as the Mayor, Mike Tautznik predicted.

The programme has been shown on Easthampton's and Northampton's Cable Access stations recently and is showing on Amherst's ACTV this week and next week.

Any artists who painted a bear whom I HAVEN'T yet interviewed please get in touch and we'll arrange a video session so's you can tell us about your bear and be included in the "Souvenir" video &/or the proposed final documentary.
