The Greene County Partnership’s tourism team announces the premier of “A Bear’s Journey to Greeneville,” a short story video that takes viewers on a delightful trip through Greeneville and Greene County.
The video premiere event will take place on May 16th from 5-7PM at the Capitol Theatre located in downtown Greeneville. This premiere event will give viewers the opportunity to watch the video on the big screen and experience the magic of the bear’s journey through the town.
“A Bear’s Journey to Greeneville” was created by Greeneville locals, Parker Bunch and Larry Horn, who worked in close collaboration with the Greene County Partnership’s tourism team. The video’s advanced animation techniques and meticulous attention to detail make it a visually stunning and engaging piece of art. The story’s bright colors, cheerful music, and storyline make it a joy to watch for all ages.
The video aims to promote Greeneville as a tourist destination, and it successfully does so by capturing the magic of discovery and the joy of traveling to a new place. The video showcases the stunning scenery of Greene County, featuring President Andrew Johnson’s rich history and scenic outdoor spots sprawled throughout the Cherokee National Forest.
“A Bear’s Journey to Greeneville is a heartwarming tribute to Greeneville’s natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture” says Greene County Partnership Tourism Director, Alayna Smith. “It is an exceptional animation that will inspire viewers to discover the wonders of this magical town we call home. Watch the video and fall in love with Greeneville.”
In addition to the premiere, there will be a contest for viewers to name the lovable bear featured in the video. The contest will run from May 16th until May 21st with the chosen name being announced after the Iris Festival. “This is a fantastic opportunity to get creative and be a part of the video’s legacy,” said Smith. “The chosen name will become a part of Greeneville’s lore and add to the town’s already rich history.” Names for the bear can be submitted at the Iris Festival during the weekend of May 20th and 21st or by visiting www.discovergreenevilletn.com .
