Only Bears

ONLY BEARS is a short film about a married couple navigating intimacy, stagnation, and connection when love alone isn’t enough to move them forward. Set inside the quiet rhythms of domestic life, the film explores what happens after the fairy tale ending — when two people who chose each other are still figuring out how to grow, change, and stay connected. It’s funny, tender, and a little absurd, because long-term love often is. At its heart, Only Bears is about bodies of size, intimacy, and the moments where connection doesn’t arrive with fireworks — but with honesty, patience, and humor.

Directed by Billy Clift, Jeff Willey, Stephen Portch
