Hey Los Angeles Boing Boing readers! You are invited to a free and exclusive screening for the documentary Catfish, which was a sensation at Sundance. I saw it last month and was enthralled. It also has generated plenty of controversy, so the audience Q&A with the producer, director after the screening ought to be interesting!
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.
It's screening at the Landmark Theatre on Pico (link below has details) After the screening, I will moderate a Q&A panel with the Catfish filmmakers Ariel Schulman, Henry Joost and Nev Schulman, who will share their experience of making the film and will answer questions about the events that transpired within the movie.
I recommend that you don't watch the trailer if you can help it. It's better to watch Catfish with no idea of what it's about.
