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.
