Witness American history through the eyes of Santa Claus during the 1960s – a deca… Robert Patriarca needs your support for A Tale of the American Santa Claus

04/01/2026

What if Santa Claus witnessed the Vietnam War?
What if he saw the Civil Rights Movement…
the division… the change… the people?
A Tale of the American Santa Claus is not a typical Christmas story.
It places Santa in the 1960s —
one of the most defining decades in American history.
This is a story about:
Family
Sacrifice
Patriotism
And what it means to carry hope through difficult times
Production has already begun with an incredible cast including:
Gino Cafarelli
Delilah Cotto
Brian Anthony Wilson
Carmine Famiglietti
Joey Eye
Nicole Greco-Peepas
Nicky Petito
Big Joe Gambino
Ray Bolden
Mary Avgerinos
Marcie Ryan
…and more

We are now in the animation phase.
And we need $17,000 to complete the pilot.
This isn’t just a film.
It’s a story about America… told through the eyes of Santa Claus.

Please share !
