Filmmaker Mye Hoang’s documentary Cat Daddies has released its first trailer, telling the story of several male cat owners and their furry feline companions.
The film will premiere this weekend at the 2021 Dallas International Film Festival. Hoang’s film specifically focuses on David Giovanni, a homeless individual living in New York, and his cat Lucky. A long overdue silver lining for the two is disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and a terrifying medical diagnosis.
The documentary as a whole focuses on the effects of several male cat owners, and not just Giovanni. As evidenced by the trailer, Cat Daddies seeks to disrupt the stigma that men can’t own and appreciate cats. While each man’s story is wholly unique, they all share a deep love and passion for their purring, four-legged friends. Some of the other individuals in the film include a firefighter, schoolteacher, truck driver, stuntman, and Instagram influencer.
Hoang is quite experienced in the festival circuit, having served as the Executive Director of the Asian Film Festival of Dallas, and the Artistic Director of the San Diego Asian Film Festival. She is a co-producer on another forthcoming documentary titled Ashima, which tells the story of Japanese American rock climber Ashima Shiraishi.
