Trailer excerpt: \"Catfish\"\u003cbr/\u003eAt long last, it's the year's first bona-fide sleeper hit.\u003cbr/\u003eIntroducing \"Catfish,\" a low- low-budget documentary that generated some solid, though by no means deafening, buzz at January's Sundance Film Festival. In three weekends, the film has grossed some $1.6 million (US) -- a tiny figure for a major studio film, but a good take for one shot on a shoestring.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd both the film's buzz and box-office takes have been building since it was released in mid-September. The money is likely to keep rolling in for some time.\u003cbr/\u003eSo, what's \"Catfish\" about? Love, deception, mystery. The film's subject, photographer Nev Schulman, said it's a little of everything that started out as nothing at all.\u003cbr/\u003eSchulman's filmmaker brother, Ari, and his business partner Henry Joost, frequently shot the dull day-to-day doings in the office shared by the three of them. But when Nev started internet correspondence with an eight-year-old girl, an art prodigy, the filmmakers were intrigued, and began to fix their lenses on Nev's life. And things soon got more intriguing, when the girl's mother joined in the conversation and, eventually, the girl's attractive older sister, with whom Nev became smitten. \u003cbr/\u003eMeeting up in person was discussed, but when the Schulmans and Joost began to suspect not all was what this \"Facebook\" family was claiming, they made an unannounced visit - only it was they who were in for the surprise.\u003cbr/\u003eRespecting the filmmakers wishes, that's all we'll say. The film's tagline is, \"Don't let anyone tell you what it is.\" \u003cbr/\u003eJust bear in mind the stranger-than-fiction story is all true, says Schulman.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well, the truth is, if we faked this movie, then my brother and Henry would be some of the best writers ever,\" he explained. \"I would be an unbelievable actor. I am confident to say that my brother and Henry aren't that smart and I'm not that talented. I can't imagine anybody really thinking that we did this intentionally.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWith its story of the possibilities and pitfalls of personal connection through the internet, \"Catfish\" plays like a scrappy sequel to the smash, \"The Social Network.\" \u003cbr/\u003e\"'The Social Network' is obviously an explanation as to the construction of that world, and into the mind of the man who invented it,\" Schulman said. \"But 'Catfish' is really a story about where it has taken us, and the real-life implications of what that website has created. So, I think they are a terrific double feature. I recommend seeing 'The Social Network' and then going to see 'Catfish.' It is wonderful because it is more than anything the start of a conversation.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWith his movie-star looks, Schulman, 26, still seems camera-ready, and he doesn't completely dismiss the suggestion that more movies may be in his future. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Life after 'Catfish' is yet to be seen,\" he said. \"I am an adventurous person. I like to take chances and try new things. So, there is certainly an opportunity for that now. But dance and photography are two things that very passionate about and I hope to continue to pursue.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"Catfish\" is on limited release in North America.
