Chuck Testa's making a bear suit!

Bears Discover Fire (a Columbia University thesis film) is working with Chuck to bring to life the most photo-realistic bear puppet ever constructed for a motion picture.

Along with Director Ben Leonberg and Extreme Bear Puppeteer Matt Brady, Chuck worked around the clock to finish the experimental bear puppet prototype just in time for the Bears Discover Fire test shoot in the deep South Jersey woods.
