A House, A Home
Synopsis
No, not the Grizzly kind. In certain strata of gay culture, “bears” are hairy, masculine gay men-large, hairy gay men-who are desired precisely for many of the physical characteristics that traditionally would have left them standing at the bar long after every-one else had paired off for the evening.
Malcolm Ingram, the film’s director, knew he would never fit into the traditional notions of how gay men look and act, and in Bear Nation, he devotedly explores what it means to be a bear. Ingram is a close friend of Kevin Smith (Clerks) who is the film’s executive producers and is widely considered a pin-up boy among devotees of Bear pulchritude.
