The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon and most other major digital music services. Also listen to a track (The Bear’s Journey) from the composer’s score after the jump. Nuisance Bear is directed byGabriela Osio Vanden & Jack Weisman based on their 2021 short of the same title and focuses on a polar bear who is forced to navigate a human world of wildlife officers, hunters and tourists, as its ancient migration collides with modern life.
