Ladies and gentlemen! We have the pleasure of inviting you to watch a production by our esteemed Maximiliano Ferzzola, who picked up a camera to bring to life an urban myth from his hometown, in this documentary about The Legend of the Cat Man.
The Legend of the Cat Man began circulating during the 1980s in small towns of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. One of those towns is Navarro, the birthplace of our friend and NeoTeo colleague Maximiliano Ferzzola, who has known this urban myth since he was very young.
What is the Cat Man?
Marked by the experience of his childhood, he decided years later to make this documentary. But... what is the Cat Man? Or rather, who is the Cat Man? For that, dear reader, make yourself comfortable and enjoy this little gem titled The Legend of the Cat Man
Bringing the Myth to Life
Because the internet didn't offer much information on the matter, to carry out this work Maximiliano had to travel all over Navarro in search of other sources. From the town's public library, where he had to inspect every archive from the era, to interviewing writers, journalists, neighbors, and victims of the Cat Man, who share their testimony in this documentary. Even for the opening scene, an attack of the Cat Man was recreated in the style of a B-class horror movie. In fact, the author of this article had to put on the cat mask to bring the character to life.
Without a doubt, The Legend of the Cat Man revives that folklore of rural towns that is usually told by word of mouth. A myth that, like many others, still remains alive in small communities but that most people, unless they are from the place, usually don't know about. If you weren't aware of this urban myth, now you have the chance to learn about it. Directed, edited, and narrated by Maximiliano Ferzzola, The Legend of the Cat Man is available to watch online on YouTube.
