Brigsby Bear is a 2017 American comedy film directed by Dave McCary in his directorial debut, starring Kyle Mooney, Claire Danes, Mark Hamill, Greg Kinnear, Andy Samberg, Matt Walsh, and Michaela Watkins. The film depicts a captive man named James who is rescued from an underground bunker where he obsessed over a children's television program titled Brigsby Bear. When he realizes the show was created by his captor, his fascination leads him to finish the storyline himself. The film was inspired by McCary, Mooney, and Kevin Costello's middle school experiences making short films together, with a story stemming from Mooney's fascination with 1980s children's shows. Principal photography took place in Utah during Mooney and McCary's break from working on Saturday Night Live in 2016.
