Bearly There Media is a film production and consulting company led by filmmaker Brenden Hubbard. An award-winning producer, director, writer, and member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Hubbard has contributed to over 100 films since 2012. His credits include the Academy Award–winning Curfew, its feature adaptation Before I Disappear (IFC Films), the Sundance Jury Award winner Oh Lucy!, The Vanishing of Sidney Hall (acquired by A24), the Icelandic feature Everything in the End, and Drink and Be Merry, starring Jefferson White (Yellowstone). He made his directorial debut with The Helping Hand (DUST) and most recently directed Hide, starring Shakey Graves, which received the Jury Award at the Anchorage International Film Festival and is slated for a 2026 release.

Beyond film, Bearly There Media develops and produces scripted audio, including American Hostage (Jon Hamm) and The Foxes of Hydesville (Carey Mulligan, McKenna Grace), with American Hostage now greenlit for series adaptation at MGM+. Drawing on years of experience touring internationally as a stage manager and production manager for artists such as Paul Anka, Shakey Graves, and Dr. Dog, Hubbard brings a distinct, character-driven perspective to genre storytelling across mediums.
