Brigsby Bear (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
A summer U.S. release is planned for this offbeat comedy after Sony Pictures Classics acquired worldwide distribution rights for a reported $5 million. With a wide-ranging cast that employs Mark Hamill, Claire Danes, and numerous 'Saturday Night Live' alums — including Brigsby co-writer and current cast member Kyle Mooney — the movie documents a 25-year-old man's relationship with a fictional children's-show character that played a key role in his unusual upbringing.
