Read Our Interview With CAMGIRL Director Dana Boulos On Filmmaking and The Secret Life of Strangers Online →

Dana Boulos is the talented director behind a new short film, entitled Cam Girl, that Autre has premiered exclusively online. Written by Jesy Odio, Cam Girl explores the vague border between our private lives and our proposed private lives. With the rise of adult webcam sites, where people can disrobe for a select viewing public in exchange for tips, Cam Girl is a prescient look at a humanity’s bifurcated persona; the erotic online persona and the persona of the girl who calls you up to tell you she just got her period, or the girl who calls you up to hang out. Cam Girl also reconnoiters our need to constantly communicate and digitally catalogue our lives. Autre caught up with Dana Boulos at home in Hollywood to ask a few questions about her inspirations, her love of film, her involvement in Petra Collins' all girl art collective Ardorous, and CAM GIRL, which can be viewed here.

Navy, although alone in her bedroom never takes a break from being in touch with others, and neither do we. With constant digital cataloging does it really matter who we are online? CAMGIRL is directed by Dana Boulos and written by Jesy Odio, with Karina Fontes starring as CAMGIRL, and director of photography Obe Augard. Click here to read our interview with Dana Boulos.
