Don &am p\; Katha Cato will show their film, "Be My Oswald"

Be My Oswald< /font> examines the extremes we employ to protect any cultural myth and how hard we work to continue its shady ex istence, no matter what the cost. It is the story of a militant vegetarian and her conspiracy to assassinate Santa but the story unfolds through the experience of an attractive naï\;ve rebellious socialite who has answ ered a blind newspaper ad believing it to be a pro-active social cause. On ce losing her innocence and discovering the reality of her plight: to assa ssinate Santa Claus as he makes his grand entrance in the Thanksgiving Day Parade, a life or death struggle ensues over what appears to be a ridicul ous notion because, of course, Santa doesn’\;t exist\; yet, is a dead ly treacherous notion since Santa is a deeply rooted, sacred American myth and a fundamental element of our economic system. Self-financed, Be My Oswald has been steady work since 1998. The Producers, Don &\; Katha Cato, maintained day jobs, got their kids through college and somehow remained mostly happily married wh ile they managed the production, shot entirely on location in New York City. Over the course of the production, media technology changed dramatica lly as did the world we all live in. However as the chip-away method conti nued, one shot, one edit at a time, all deals were honored while the produ ction adapted and the work completed. Be My Oswald has enjoyed very positive audience and critical r esponse: “\;striking, subversive and sublime”\;\; “\;undeni ably strong, clever and unpredictable”\;\; and “\;a very intimat e drama with brilliant moments of twisted humor”\;…\;QIFF and &# 8220\;seductively entertaining and relevant…\;nerve wracking”\;& #8230\;Jordan Hunter Indieville.net. The film has been selected for severa l festivals winning BEST DRAMA at the 4th Annual Queens International Film Festival, BEST FEATURE, The Founders Choice Award, at the NY Int’\;l Independent Film &\; Video Festival and was selected by The Anthology Film Archives NewFilmMakers Series 2006 and Be My Oswald was just selected for the Swansea, Wales, F ilm Festival, the largest film event in the UK.
