Catfish
Studio: Rogue
Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost
Sep 16, 2010
Web Exclusive
If you buy into directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost’s claim that Catfish began as a document of the Facebook friendship between New York City photographer Yaniv “Nēv” Schulman (Ariel’s brother) and Abby, an eight-year-old painter who found inspiration in Nēv’s ballet photos, then you’re in for a fascinating, wildly entertaining journey through today’s tangled web of social networking and Internet sharing. To the credit of the documentary filmmakers, I began to question during the closing titles whether what I had just seen was in fact nonfiction and not inspired by an episode of Taxi.
