One Week Away - The Bodacious Bears Premiere: Latest Update

We are now officially ONE WEEK AWAY from the premiere of The Bodacious Bears documentary. If you have not already reserved a seat and plan to attend in-person, please do so immediately. There is no charge, however seating is limited and we have very few seats remaining. 

The film will premiere at 1:30p on November 6th, with the primary showing at Proscenium Theater on the campus of SUNY Potsdam. RESERVE YOUR SEAT HERE. 

If you are unable to reserve a seat, there will be an additional in-person showing which has been made available for overflow.  This will also be at 1:30p on November 6th. 

If you are unable to attend in-person, the film will also premiere at 1:30p on YouTube.  This YouTube Premiere link will be made public later this week, so you will be able to bookmark it ahead of Sunday, however it will not be available to watch until 1:30p on Sunday, November 6th.  Check out the trailer here and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube to get the latest updates and notifications.

The following playlist of music includes many references and songs that were crucial in developing the film's soundtrack.  Check it out ahead of this weekend to help get in the mood for a historic look back at that era of Potsdam Bears Basketball! 

Many thanks to Gigolo Aunts, The Currys, Double Axel, and Chestnut Grove for allowing their music to be included in this project. Also, a major shout-out to Kyle Tupper for his help in mastering the mix of music and composing many original pieces which will help serve the film tremendously. 

The final touches are being made. Tim Welsh has done an incredible job with the narration, and NCPR's Todd Moe has also done some awesome voice-overs for a few passages that are included. This is an all-encompassing experience that I hope you find respectful to the era, place, and people, as well as all that was accomplished.

The Bodacious Bears: Spring 2022 Update

The Bodacious Bears' storyline, narrative, and production are continuing to see progress being made.  We appreciate the patience of everyone involved.  It has been a tall task scheduling, organizing, and circling all the wagons in order to make this happen, but it will all be worth it once it comes together!  Over the next few weeks, we have a few more interviews to get to... a few VERY IMPORTANT interviews, may I add.  Yesterday, we interviewed Dr. Hal Cohen, son of the late Bears Hall of Fame coach Stan Cohen.   On December 11, 1976, in his senior year at Canton High School, Hal made 598 consecutive free throws after varsity practice in the High School gym.  I grew up in Canton, and had basketball practice every day in that gym.  To this day, there is a banner that hangs with a photo of Cohen with legendary Head Coach Jerry Hourihan on that momentous occasion in 1976. The banner details the significance of such an incredible feat, and it has in...
