It’s the big day. The announcement is in a few hours’ time, and film producers David and Kate anticipate their prestigious Civil War epic Catch Me Some Freedom will be nominated for plenty of Goldies. Until, however, they learn that the film’s heroic lead role, played by a white actor, was in real life actually Black.
“That’s a powerful message! They won’t want to see that.”
“It isn’t, at all, and that’s exactly why they’re gonna love it.”
Fearing an intense and career-jeopardising backlash, David and Kate frantically try to avoid public scrutiny and keep the film from getting any attention whatsoever.
Featuring award-winning writer and performer Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller as David, and the acclaimed Rosie Hart as Kate.
Press is written and directed by Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller.
Cast: Rosie Hart and Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller
