Comment on 'We Are Your Friends' director schooled by MTV's 'Catfish'

'We Are Your Friends' director schooled by MTV's 'Catfish'

The movie, out Friday, is the feature directorial debut of Max Joseph, best known for co-hosting the "Catfish" series, which unmasks people who use fake online identities to deceive someone else, usually when it comes to online romances. The director says he'd "absorb and observe what they're going through and they're hopes and dreams and aspirations and if they feel stuck or if they don't like who they are for whatever reason — bad decisions they made, what they look like, etc., etc." The TV show's rough documentary style is also reflected in the film, which the director says "needed to feel gritty and have a lot of movement to it" so Efron didn't look too polished for the part. Zac has been in a lot of big, glossy commercial films and also a lot of indie films as well," Joseph said, "but I don't feel like anyone's seen him in shots that are quasi-documentary and I think that that would allow people to accept him more as a real person, as opposed to Zac Efron, the handsome movie star.
