Un-Bear-Lievably Comfy Mattresses “Purple Mattress

Throwback to November 2020, when writer/director contacted us for some help with a shoot for the mattress company, Purple Mattress.

We brought two of our bears, including Bartram, to Forest Park in Richmond Hill, NY for project, ‘Life-Changing Sleep.’ Getting instant-result COVID tests was challenging enough, but then we discovered our film location didn’t allow combustion engine power generators – meaning potentially no fans to keep our actors cool in the suits!

Luckily, we got our hands on a solid-state generator, meaning we stayed cool, our mobile phones stayed topped up, and we wrapped up a super charming ad. We’d love to work with this incredible team of New Yorkers again, come rain or shine.

Bartram Joins A Rock Band “Wie Ich”

One bear. One hunter. One unlikely adventure. This isn’t the latest road trip comedy – it’s a music video for the popular German rock band, KRAFTKLUB.

Bartram joined the group for this amazing shoot, organized by Ambitious.Films which brought us to multiple locations around Darmstadt, the home of the European Space Agency (ESA.)


We explored a local bar, the great outdoors, and even a cave at night – and let’s just say that in the dark, navigation got a little ‘hairy.’ Luckily, our quirky pens with built-in flashlights saved the day. (Well, sort of. They certainly made things a little bit safer!)

An awesome team made this project enjoyable and memorable and the music video ROCKS!  Thank you, Christian, Carlo, Moritz, and company for a great project!

Our Epic Food Battle in Bulgaria “Hyper Wafer”

This shoot took us to Bulgaria for the very first time, as we worked with Screen Brothers Production (Sofia) to make a commercial for Prestige Wafers Hyper Cabrio (candy bar). We brought our best beast to the ring for this round!

As you’ll see from the video, man soundly whipped animal in this encounter, but not before our bear consumed enough chocolate to hibernate all winter long.

Fun fact: We worked with a real-life wrestler for this shoot, who headed out to the USA for the Arnold Sports Festival shortly after filming. In case you don’t know, that’s the bodybuilding and fitness expo named after Arnold Schwarzenegger! 

Thank you Vesela, Nina and the rest of the production team for a memorable and enjoyable first visit to Bulgaria!
