CATFISH

Monday, October 25th at 7:00 pm

Admission is Free; Shown as Integrated Programming for the '62 Center for Theater and Dance

In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel’s brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.

"Catfish was one of the most surprising movies I have seen in a long time. The movie shifted tones 3 times, it was hilarious, then it was truly terrifying, then it was really profound and moving. That is what you aspire to do in a movie."-Ed Norton
