Beware fake social media for Kate Archer
richanson999 January 2022
There is someone in Ghana using photo's of AwesomeKate (Kate Archer) and pretending to be her. On Facebook the person goes by Victoria Raphael.

There is also a questionable Twitter account, although they tell me is it verified.

Don't get scammed like I did.

Where do I begin?
moviebuff-tony26 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Unfortunately for you I couldn't care less about this film so this won't be my usual high quality critique of a piece, but I'll be frank.

It's some pseudo- faux emotional nonsense that attempts to glorify, and normalise behaviours which are inherently moronic, childish and self centred and sell it to the masses as something really 'good' for the models who've found their niche and super wonderful for the poor souls (the men) on the cam sites looking for arousal/companionship.

In reality the dynamic is simple, Women and Men are struggling to survive in this economy, and women have something that is in demand, it's called a vagina. Speaking candidly, as a Man myself, I have no desire / demand for the specimens portrayed in the Film and personally when I tried a site once I found all of the humans on there to be repugnant, unintelligible and patronising to men, seemingly placating them just for money. This of course is fine, as it's the whole point, but what bothered me is the facade that they cared and are super nice and kind people who would behave similarly when face to face with these, let's face it, less than hunky men *

I forget my other point, but another interesting component here, is one of taking advantage, that is to say, of ugly/fat/damaged men with more money than sense. You can clearly see this with the mentally challenged chubby chasers and so on, where, in any sane reality, the women who are ugly/ clinically obese, would never receive such financial rewards for flopping around like hippos in front of a camera. That said, the pretty one's are equally a waste of space. In it's entirety, this is a dangerous economy which leads to no tangible productivity for our society and transfers usable, workable wealth (i.e cash/tokens) to the opposite gender only to support the globalised beauty industry.

Forgive me, the fake benevolence of the portrayal of these women and their fight for economic independence has turned my brain into a microwaved potato, so, admittedly, I have digressed beyond my review of just the entertainment value.

I will say though that the 'deep' sound track is not warranted for this movie. All it is, is a poorly made, albeit HD short peak into the lives of some uneducated and economically useless people who take advantage of the droves of stupid/poor/sick/lonely/sad/unmarried/married men who are a slave to their biological urges.

Would women think so favourably if the tables were turned? I doubt it.

All being said, and the terrible cinematography with its creepy slow pan and zoom thing, there are a few tid bits of interesting and perhaps not commonly known things about 'camming' but I must say I find it arrogant and offensive that so many of the cam girlz both in the movie and out of it pretend like they are there for freindship, but when they talk highly about the positives of this industry the top of their list is always the freedom they get, the money, the lax working hours, the lifestyle, not having a boss, and doing whatever the hell they want because they have boobs.

Superb and unique
cheswardine0226 January 2015
I am a sex blogger and I personally have watched a couple of documentaries in the UK about webcam girls, one on BBC THREE and one on Channel 5. Both of which were quite light hearted and didn't really show any true character from these girls. Cam Girlz however has really touched me and differed itself from the rest.

Unlike the others, this documentary featured girls from all kinds of background, as well as their appearances, you would see the usual slim pretty girls, but it also gave a voice from the big and beautiful girls, and even mature ladies. It just goes to show that there isn't just one type of girls the guys want to see, each and every variety of girls has an audience for. You can be the best looking girl in the world but if your personality doesn't shine through then no one will want to watch you on cam.

I adored the truth from this documentary it portrayed, that is being a cam girl is not a taboo as the society might deemed as. The girls are totally being themselves online and that is the true pleasure for the viewers. Often when you think that it is the viewers that are in control of a webcam sex show, but it is actually always the girls that are in control, always.

In the space of just over an hour the film featured a total of 38 girls, often going back and forth from one to another explaining how they got into camming and how it has affected their lives comparing to pre-cam. All of the cam girls suggested that it was something they loved to do, not having to work for someone and being creative on camera to please people all over the world.

While the documentary managed to focus the attention on the cam girls, it also shed a light on the guys who pay to watch these girls, and it's not some dark grim life one might expect, these are happy-go-lucky guys who just enjoy the women's company online, instead of having to be a lonely weirdo who hangs around in bars. This really fascinated me when comparing to the other documentaries where you only saw one side of the camera.

I felt that the entire film wanted to show the viewers expressing sexually online in front of a camera is completely normal and should not be frowned upon in this day and age. The cam girls industry can only now grow with the technology, wherever that might take it to, hologram girls? Who knows.

Credit must go to Sean Dunne for directing this film, which he has done a superb job of. Every camera angle was at the right place, with the perfect lighting and sound. It was one of those films that you didn't want it to end so soon.

A very meaningful documentary
kurgan-326 January 2015
If you are interested in getting a glimpse into the real lives of Cam models, this is the best film out there. The ladies are real people, and the connections that they make are not just binary code.

This documentary does a great job of showing a wide variety of models with differing views and goals, but they are very human, and no longer can people think that they are just material to "get off" to, nor are they blow up dolls or corner store magazines that move.

The guys are also surprising. They are not just single minded perverts seeking the thrills of prurient internet content (at least not all of them).

This is a community of good people with honest, forward thinking goals who happen to share a open minded attitude. Highly recommended for education in general. Note: adult material.
