Synopsis:
It's not the nasty divorce or the demotion at his job that sends a man over the edge, but his missing cat. The events of GOLIATH unfold without mercy or relief for a man who clings to his search for 'the sweetest most wonderful cat in the whole world.' It's not what happened to the cat that lends intrigue, but wondering what the man will do when he finds out.GOLIATH interlaces humor and poignancy with a deft hand, never letting you up for air until it's time. Comedic touches complement the most difficult moments of the film without undercutting the effects of either. The Zellner Brothers' straightforward production makes keen and sympathetic observations about everyday struggles through a man searching for the seemingly minor satisfaction of a pet when faced with never-ending obstacles and indignities.

Director's Bio:
Austin, Texas-based filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner have made numerous films and music videos, which have played at festivals worldwide. Their combined sensibilities bring a truly unique mix of comedy and pathos to all of their work. After three consecutive times at Sundance with shorts Flotsam/Jetsam, Redemptitude and Aftermath on Meadowlark Lane, Goliath is their first feature to screen at the festival.
