 A Bear's Story
 Somewhere beyond loneliness lies friendship and romance...

Recently, I had the chance to chat with Kevin Bowe about his film A Bear's Story.

A Bear's Story is a short subject film about the bear community. It was the first piece to address the growing bear movement. The film was shot over a weekend and included 80 or so of Kevin's friends and members of Bears LA as extras and volunteers. Kevin also has the starring role of Robert, who stumbles across into the bear community when he thinks he is attending a fund raiser to save polar bears. "The Bears are having a fundraiser, do you want to come?"

The film was premiered at IBR in 2003, to a very woofy reception. Of course! OMG - the pool alone got my vote. "Honey, we are so moving to LA!!" The film won best short that summer at The DC International LGBT Film Festival. It has since been showed at a variety of LGBT film festivals including The Hamburg International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival (Germany), The Oslo Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in Norway and the first Vermont Bear Film Festival.

When I asked Kevin about the hardest part of doing the film, he said "Jumping into the pool. I was a little concerned, but everyone just cheered me on!!" Kevin continues to get requests for the film from various LGBT film festivals.

One out of every six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. However, if detected early enough, prostate cancer is nearly 100% survivable.

To increase awareness about the importance of prostate cancer screenings, the PCEC (who organize the PACE Race series) developed a 30-second public service announcement. Please visit the PCAW website to view the announcement.

Oh please - Like you needed a reason to drop trou . . .
