Dear Team Gravitas:
We are delighted to offer for North American sales the dark comedy TEDDY BEARS, directed by Thomas Beatty and Rebecca Fishman. Fresh off its world premiere screening at the Seattle International Film Festival last month, TEDDY BEARS has equal parts heart, wit, and depth.
The steller, star-studded cast, with a combined twitter following of close to half a million and who are all very willing (and contractually obligated) to promote the film, features Gillian Jacobs (NBC’s “Community”), Zachary Knighton (ABC’s “Happy Endings”), David Krumholtz (CBS’ “Numb3rs”), Melanie Lynskey (HBO’s “Togetherness”, Hello I Must Be Going, Heavenly Creatures), Ahna O'Reilly (Fruitvale Station, Jobs), and Jason Ritter (FOX’s “Us & Them”, NBC’s “Parenthood”).
The film also stars French Stewart (“3rd Rock from the Sun”), Dale Dickey (Winter’s Bone), and Ned Beatty (Network, Toy Story 3).
You can watch the teaser here.
There’s also a longer unreleased trailer. Watch it here using the password tbears036.
For screeners or streaming links please email us.
Best regards,
Orly Ravid

“A beautiful portrait of how grief can erode relationships...Not many films with such an outrageous premise will resonate or stick with you the way that ‘Teddy Bears’ will…It sure feels awesome to watch such a good movie.”

“The term ‘dark comedy’ was made for movies like this. A story about friends helping a friend get over the death of his mother via some rather bizarre methodology is indeed is very dark and very funny. Plus it stars Gillian Jacobs from Community.”
— Aubrey Bach, Yay Today!

| | ABOUT THE FILM: TEDDY BEARS is a dark comedy about three couples who head to the desert to help their friend Andrew heal from the loss of his mother.
The friends plan a week of laughter and rejuvenation. Andrew plans a therapeutic orgy. Once this absurd and troubling request is revealed, their bonds begin to fracture in unexpected and often hilarious ways as they answer the question: how far would you go for a friend?
The backdrop to this adventure, the desert—a harsh, vast environment—is not a place where one can hide. Whatever trouble you bring with you will be exposed to the sun.
