Bear Song is an animated environmental fantasy drama for our time.
The story was inspired by the death of a Bear and her unborn cub gunned down in Flagstaff, AZ in 2021.
An American Brown Bear robbed of her life and mounted for museum display takes Lady Time on a journey through the song of bears in the hopes of reconnecting humanity with the natural world.
Our story’s main theme is humanity’s disconnect from nature.
Synopsis:

In return, Lucy takes Lady Time on an odyssey to experience how bears view the world of people. Lucy and Lady T’s trek mirrors a struggle that is happening within Lucy’s Museum. Where MS. SMART, a museum director who hates museums, is challenged by the staff to recognize their collection’s role as a doorway into a conversation.
