LOS ANGELES – “Cam_Girlfriend”, a new comedy series following the life of a cam girl, has released the first episode in its 10-episode series on the Camming Life YouTube channel, the show’s creators announced today. As described by its creators, the new series explores “romance, technology, connectivity, and love, introducing the story of Chloe Cables, a rising cam star, and Mike, her boyfriend.”
Lily LaBeau, a popular adult performer and fan-favorite broadcaster on the Chaturbate platform, portrays Chloe, who is struggling to juggle her relationships with Mike and her dedicated camming fans. Dave Keystone, the 2018 Canadian Screen Award winner for Best Host of a Web Program, portrays Mike, who “quickly discovers the intricacies of sharing living space with not only Chloe, but also her online followers.”
In the first episode, “The Registry”, Chloe and Mike “cover-up their tracks after they devise a scheme to use Chloe’s camming registry to start paying for their friends’ wedding presents,” according to a description of the episode provided by its creators. “The situation comes to a brew after an expensive espresso machine is purchased.”
Shirley Lara, Chief of Operations at Chaturbate, said the series “creatively mixes the real-life struggles of what it is like to be a cam model and the comedic addition of intimate relationships.”
“Each episode uncovers a new comedic element of what a cam girl goes through in their day-to-day and lets the public see behind the curtain of the internet’s hottest trend,” Lara added.
The executive producers of Cam_Girlfriend said the series was inspired by their feeling that “camming was a fascinating world rich with comedic material for us to explore.”
“It’s a place where so much more than just sex happens,” the producers added. “Friendships are formed, art is expressed, and hilarity occurs daily. In an increasingly digital world, we realized there was no better way to look at digital relationships than through the lens of a cam model.”
CAMGF1 Productions is the company behind Cam_Girlfriend. The series was created by Ethan Cole, directed by Daniel AM Rosenberg, co-written by Ethan Cole and Michael Goldlist and produced by Jason Kennedy and Daniel AM Rosenberg. In its launch announcement, Chaturbate said the series was “made possible thanks to the Independent Production Fund.”
Cole, who created and co-wrote the series, created, wrote and directed “The Project” for the Score Television Network. A comedic documentary series, The Project featured various professional athletes including Buster Douglas, The Ultimate Warrior, Jose Canseco, Metta World Peace and Ben Johnson. The show was featured in ESPN.com, Yahoo Sports, and the Toronto Star.
In 2014, Cole created the digital series Explaining Things to My Grandfather, which has millions of views and has been featured in Funny or Die, People, the Huffngton Post, the Daily Mail, Mashable, Esquire, and the front page of Reddit. More recently, Cole created My 90-Year-Old Roommate, one of CBC’s flagship digital series. It has been recognized by the Canadian Screen Awards, the Rockie Awards and the Webby Awards, among others.
