MONROE - Dave McCary claimed he never set out to make movies for a living when he began at a young age with short films, but slowly the habit developed into a career. McCary made a big impression at the Sundance Film Festival when the movie he directed, "Brigsby Bear," earned joyful reviews and a $5 million purchase deal from Sony Pictures Classics after its premiere on Jan. 23. Monroe resident Vicki Phillips attended the festival to see her son debut his first feature film.
