When Mila comes face to face with the bear, symbolizing her depression, her world begins to collapse around her. The bear intrudes in her life, keeping her from her day-to-day activities, and causes her relationships to fall apart. Mila soon learns to live and coexist in a healthy way with the animal, and quite literally, “bear” its weight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b69715d76be323d84bd20/1614215152601-XM6OBKBV84O8FYJKCPQY/6.png Meet the Characters MAE Meet Mae! She’s Mila’s best friend. She’s perfectly put together, preppy, and always on top of her life - or so it seems. Mae suffers with her own mental health struggles and shares with Mila that she, too, has an animal, just like Mila’s bear. Mae’s character exemplifies the fact that so many of us have our own struggles, even those you may not expect, even when they may not show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b69715d76be323d84bd20/da7eb862-0274-4147-a11e-919b044593ac/1.png Meet the Characters - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b69715d76be323d84bd20/1614215134037-3W3M2O0KUQRONXI3SNX0/4.png Meet the Characters BEAR Mila’s Bear is a bumbling, cumbersome weight in her life that follows her around everywhere. He remains silent throughout the film and is not menacing or scary, but innocently begins to turn Mila’s world upside down. Nobody else can see him like Mila can and his looming presence mirrors that of depression for her. It would be sound crazy to tell someone that you live with a bear, right? He makes it difficult to share how she is feeling with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b69715d76be323d84bd20/1dc02227-1a10-4822-8785-eabe44ef8eca/62.jpg Meet the Characters - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b69715d76be323d84bd20/9df444f5-84cf-480c-9abf-e6d9c140504b/61.jpg Meet the Characters - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b69715d76be323d84bd20/33612d44-d39a-4f94-a88b-1382975260dd/60.jpg Meet the Characters - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bearthefilm.com/mental-health-resources daily 0.75 2021-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b69715d76be323d84bd20/1618516810022-2LCN40L4RRRKVMMZ3DZ4/Screen+Shot+2021-04-15+at+1.59.57+PM.png Mental Health Resources - Youth Mental Health Statistics Youth.gov “In 2008, 8.1 percent of youth ages 12 to 17 and 8.7 percent of young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 had at least one depressive episode.
