A reality show based on the documentary film Catfish is being developed by MTV and production company RelativityReal, reports Variety.  Catfish drew attention at last year’s Sundance Film Festival about a New York photographer who travels to Michigan to meet a woman he met on Facebook.  The photographer discovers the woman is not who she claims to be.  The TV pilot project is in infancy stages though would likely focus on social networks users who purposely misidentify themselves and the results that happen.  The creative talent behind the documentary film would be involved in the MTV project.
