CATFISH

O documentário "Catfish", dos diretores de "Paranormal Activity" 3 e 4 Ariel Schulman e Henry Joost, foi protagonizado por Nev Schulman, irmão de Ariel. O documentário mostra a evolução do relacionamento de Nev (através do facebook) com uma menina e sua família, que infelizmente não acabou como ele esperava.

The documentary "Catfish" was made by Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost (the directors of Paranormal Activity 3 and 4), and starred Nev Schulman, (Ariel's brother). The documentary shows the evolution of a relationship between Nev and a girl in Michigan via facebook, which unfortunately did not turn out as he expected.

"Catfish" foi apresentado no Sundance; o festival de filmes mais conceituado dos E.U.A.
 Inicialmente gerou controvérsias, pois recebeu muitas críticas positivas, mas também negativas, de pessoas que não acreditaram na veracidade da história. Mas, após o documentário atingir o público, Nev começou a receber emails de pessoas que se identificaram com a história e pediam conselhos sobre seus próprios relacionamentos.

When Catfish was originally presented at Sundance--the most prestigious festival in the US--it generated a lot of controversy.  There were many positive reviews but also a lot of negative reviews from people who did not believe the veracity of the story. However, after the documentary was released in theaters, Nev started to receive emails from people who identified with his story and were asking for advice on their own strange online relationships.

Foi assim que surgiu o "reality show Catfish", que apresentará a cada episódio a história de um casal. Os amigos e filmmakers Nev e Max ajudarão a desvendar as surpresas e mentiras de alguns  relacionamentos online.

This is how the idea for Catfish the reality show started.   Every episode will follow the story of one couple that have been dating online but have never met in person.  Friends and filmmakers Nev and Max will help bring these online lovers together in person, while unraveling their secrets and lies along the way.
