Welcome to "The Shadow of the Bear" movie blog!

We are an independant young adult-run production based in the U.S. Midwest. The film has been in pre-production since summer 2008, and wrapped up filming on August 26th, 2010.

We premiered the project on June 23rd, 2011 at the St. Anthony Main Theater in Minneapolis, MN to a delighted audience of over 100 viewers.

DVD Q&A

(PLEASE read the original DVD post completely before asking questions here. Some questions are being asked that were clearly answered in the original post. THANKS! :) )


Several of you asked how you could order the DVD, so I'm going to restate the information from the original post here:


"If you would like a copy of the unfinished rough cut of the movie, we'll make that available to those who inquire. If you are interested in obtaining the unfinished rough cut, email andrew@chestertonpress.com. "


Please include your Snail Mail address


I do encourage you to get your inquiry in soon, as (as I understand it) we'd like to not distribute these DVDs indefinitely. 


Official cast and crew will be getting their DVDs separately, so don't order yet as I'll be contacting those of you who haven't been informed yet once we nail down the list


Also, for those of you who know something about film, I want to clarify what we mean by 'rough cut.' The film is actually very finely cut, and we only had a few tweaks to make in Post. The majority of the issues, as stated, are related to audio issues. 


Now to the questions... (if you have any that aren't discussed here, leave them in the comments and I'll add them to this post)

YES! YES-YES-YES-YES-YES!!!!!! Oh, yes! (Falls on floor in ecstasy) On a more practical note, how much does the movie cost? I'd like to get it as a surprise for my little brother. 

Our Answer: We are still narrowing down the price as we determine what the costs will be, but it will be under $15.

Oh my gosh!!! Yay! Question, is the DVD have it's own movie box or what?

Our Answer: I'm not sure of this one, whether it'll be in a DVD box or a CD case. I'll try to find out.

Our Answer: Nope! All of the iconic scenes are in there.

Firstly, the news that The Shadow of the Bear movie is going to be released totally made my day! I've been looking forward to seeing it for so long, and I'd like to order it ASAP, but I was just wondering if there will be any issues with me ordering from overseas, as I live in the UK?

Our Answer: No issues whatsoever! You'll have to pay whatever the postage rates are, but otherwise it's doable.

Will you later be selling the post-production version (with the audio issued resolved?) or is this a one-time-only opportunity to purchase the film? Thank you!

Our Answer: No. As we said in the original DVD post, we will not be formally releasing the DVD with post production finished, as our actors have moved on and such correction would be impossible. For awhile it was up in the air whether we would even be able to make the unfinished version available to fans, so I'm very thankful that we are. Do order yours asap, as I believe we will not be doing this indefinitely.

I sent an email to order the DVD last week, and I haven't gotten a reply.
Do you know what kind of payments will be accepted? Has the price of the DVD finally been settled?
I would like to get the DVD as soon as I can! But I can't if I don't know how or how much I need to pay! lol!
