Amateur filmmakers reel in success
By Mike Powell | Sep. 30, 2010Movie: Catfish Grade: B+ Studio: Relativity Media Release Date: Sept. 17 Facebook, three guys and a couple of handheld cameras serve as the foundation for the latest modern-day thriller and documentary, Catfish. Aspiring filmmakers Henry Joost (11/4/08) and Ariel Schulman (Jerry Ruis, Shall We Do This With) shot the film, and many will be pleased with the job they did. When compared to most other documentaries, Catfish follows an aesthetically similar documentary style seen in movies such as Paranormal Activity and Borat. Although they may be inexperienced, Joost and Schulman display the talent of even the best professional filmmakers; the quality of the directing, the clever angles of the shots and the editing of the film all shine with precision. Though the film is well constructed, it's Catfish's storytelling that will reel in viewers and keep them hooked. Schulman's brother, Nev Schulman, plays himself and serves as the film's main character. The movie begins in New York City when professional photographer Nev Schulman receives a painting depicting a photograph he had recently shot.

UB Council Chairman Jeremy Jacobs introduced Simpson and thanked him for setting the bar high as a world-class leader and voiced his confidence in finding the next UB President to push for new boundaries. Simpson, who will retire this January, addressed a hopeful crowd on the future of UB and the entire Western New York region while not failing to mention the failure of Albany to give the proper needs that the SUNY system requires to move forward. "I strongly believe that merely providing access without supporting excellence is discrimination," Simpson said.
