CAM

Amanda Gonsteina

Cam is a 2018 American psychological horror film directed by Daniel Goldhaber and written by Isa Mazzei. The story is partially drawn from writer Mazzei's own experience working as a camgirl. The film is the first feature film for both Goldhaber and Mazzei.

Executive summary

A young camgirl discovers that she has inexplicably been replaced on her site with an exact replica of herself.

Much of the story was drawn from Mazzei's own experience as a cam girl. The story element of Lola having her image stolen came from Mazzei having her camming videos pirated and reposted without crediting her. Alice's interactions with the police officers are taken from Mazzei and other sex workers' experiences of being dismissed and hit on when reaching out for help. According to Mazzei, the question one of the police officers asks her, "What's the weirdest thing you've ever had to do?"
