LOGLINE:!
Cam Girlz is a documentary film about internet sex workers who find economic
freedom, empowerment, intimacy and creative self expression from the comfort
of their own homes.
!
DESCRIPTION:!
Cam girls are pioneering the first real change to the world’s oldest profession by
using the safety and intimacy of internet chat rooms to develop their own unique
sexual personas and performances that keep men returning to their screens and
“tipping” generously. A cam girl is part entertainer, part therapist, and part sex
worker. These women approach their cam “jobs” with creativity and joy. And can
make a lot of money doing it. Watch them perform. Listen to their stories. And
be prepared to have your beliefs about sex work challenged.

SEAN DUNNE BIO: !
Sean Dunne made his feature-film-directing debut with OXYANA, a portrait of a
small coal-mining town caught in the grips of the Oxycontin epidemic. OXYANA
premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2013 where Dunne won the award for Best
New Documentary Director as well as a received a Special Jury Mention for Best
Documentary.!
Dunne has directed five previous short documentaries including: THE ARCHIVE
(nominated for an Emmy in 2011), MAN IN VAN, THE BOWLER, STRAY DAWG,
BLACK BIKE WEEK and AMERICAN JUGGALO (named documentary of the
year for 2011 by the website, Short of the Week). Most recently Dunne released
the micro-feature FLORIDA MAN.!
Hailed as the “master of fringe Americana” for his ability to realistically capture
half-mythical corners of the country, Dunne’s approach to documentary is to
give his subjects the ease and opportunity to find their own voice and his
viewers the freedom to form their own conclusions.!

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:!
This all started with a simple pop-up advertisement. Nothing crazy, just what
normally pops up in the background if you’re watching porn on the internet – a
naked woman broadcasting live from what appears to be her bedroom, she’s
having fun, and she’s being real. That’s when the questions started, who is she?
Where is she? Is she making money? And, eventually, what type of person does
this type of work? What leads them to this? Once I heard her refer to herself as a
“cam girl” I immediately thought to myself this is my next film.!
Following my first feature length documentary, OXYANA, I was interested in
making a film about women, specifically women who challenged the
establishment. When I began to research and speak with some of the women I
was blown away by how intelligent, well-rounded and business savvy they were.
It felt unexpected, they were very much empowered by this work. To me, cam
girls are doing essentially the same thing that I do, they just do it naked. They
are artists who conceive, create, market and distribute their own content. The
only difference between a cam girl and myself is that I have societies blessing
and they don’t. For those reasons, and many more as I would later learn, they
inspired me.!
So we raised a modest budget of $69,000 on Kickstarter and hit the road. Our
subjects ran the gamut in terms of backgrounds, locations, ages, body types
and motivations but one thing seemed to ring true, they all felt strong and
empowered by this work and were growing as people and gaining
independence by sharing themselves with the internet. We took a meticulous
approach to properly depicting the world of camming. I conducted no oncamera interviews in fear that it would intimidate them and instead sat with the
girls for a series of audio-only conversations which we layered over footage of
the girls camming to bring the audience into as intimate a space as we possibly
could. The women we featured in Cam Girlz represent a cross-section of a
growing industry where the girl next door is transforming into a fearless
entrepreneur whose tools are her sexuality, her creativity and a good internet
connection.!
To me this is ultimately a film about connection; camming is where love and
technology intersect. Cam Girlz is my attempt to capture the essence of this
community, the energy of the women involved and the experience of being
immersed in their world. My hope is that viewers will come away questioning
their preconceived notions about sex in the internet age and beyond.!
