"Brigsby Bear"

So I am a journalist for The Edmond Sun and my editor asked me a few weeks ago to write an article about former Edmond resident, Kevin Costello.

Costello has recently received a lot of attention from various Oklahoma media outlets for his work on the film "Brigsby Bear."

He co-wrote with Saturday Night Life actor, Kyle Mooney, who is also the star of the film.

The film tells the tale of a young man, James, who was kidnapped as an infant and grew up with one fond memory.

Brigsby Bear.

What was actually a one man and cheaply made television show, was a whimsical world of magic and love for James.

However, after he is discovered and returns to his family, James is unable to function because of the lack of Brigsby.

In an effort to restore his happiness, James attempts to finish Brigsby Bear. However, in the process he becomes close with his lost family.

This indie movie has been described by several critiques as a heart warming and feel good film. It even received high praise at the Sundance Film Festival.

I was not able to get an interview with Costello just yet because the film is to be realized in theaters this summer. He is required to hold off on interviews until closer to the release date.

However, I will be able to interview him a few months from now and I look forward to discover the inter workings of this fellow Edmondite's mind.
