What we (grizzly creek films) did on our summer in “bear-a-dise.”

Chalk up another stellar summer for the Grizzly Creek Films crew. This was one for the ages. In July, we traveled North from Bozeman to try our hand filming in the rugged wildlands of Alaska for a new National Geographic episode. The subject, of course, was none other than our favorite ursus arctos, in fact, the largest brown bears in the world!
From bush planes to backcountry salmon banquets, we pulled off an incredible three weeks of filming in some of the most picturesque (though often climatically-challenging) places on Earth.

Filming took place along Alaska’s coastal mainland and on Kodiak Island for what is sure to be a film of epic proportions - these tremendous bears wouldn’t have it any other way!
So Expedition Grizzly fans, we think you are going to like this one. In fact, we think this film is going to knock your bloomin’ socks off. Stay tuned for updates from the ongoing production process as this film moves closer to its airdate in 2010.

On our next shoot, Brutus brings his talents to the fore in Montana for a special challenge combining water, coordination, and raw instinct . . . check back often for your regular dose of grizzly creek action.
