Don &
Katha Cato will show their film, "Be My Oswald"
Be
My Oswald examines the
extremes we employ to protect any cultural myth and how hard we work to continue
its shady existence, 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 naïve rebellious socialite who has answered a
blind newspaper ad believing it to be a pro-active social cause. Once losing her
innocence and discovering the reality of her plight: to assassinate 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 ridiculous notion because, of course,
Santa doesn’t exist; yet, is a deadly 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
while they managed the production, shot entirely on location in
