About this listen

From the incredibly inventive mind of Aly Kantor (reANIMA) in concert with the production value and team of Broken Arts Entertainment comes a sci-fi story that deserves your attention. CHOOSE THE BEAR is a near-future sci-fi drama reimagining the myth of Callisto amid an accelerating climate collapse. As Earth’s resources vanish, the wealthy escape to Zenith Aerospace’s exclusive orbital “Communities,” marketed as humanity’s sustainable future. When Zenith launches the Arcadia Project, disgraced Coast Guard aviator Callie Winter is hired as its off-world auditor—unaware she’s also a valuable test subject in a secret race to solve human reproduction in space. On Earth, engineer Diana Aimes becomes Callie’s sole lifeline. As trust and intimacy grow between them, Zenith exploits that bond, forcing both women to confront consent, autonomy, and the true cost of survival in a manufactured utopia.Copyright 2026

    CHOOSE THE BEAR - EPISODE 7 - "Behind the Curtain" | Official Sci Fi Drama

    This episode doesn't pull punches, doesn't hide emotions, and everyone in our audience will find relatable aspects of the story. Whether it's Diana's desperate hunt to find the truth or Aura calling out Callie despite their socio-economic statuses.

    Often times it comes down to leverage versus pride and in this episode we head down the path. We also learn how to "trick" A.I. which was foreshadowed in Episode 01.
