‘Cam_Girlfriend’ Honored With Selection for Miami Web Fest

LOS ANGELES — Cam_Girlfriend, a web series that follows the misadventures of a Chaturbate broadcaster, is continuing its impressive run of awards and accolades. Most recently, the series—which stars Lily LaBeau—was named an official selection for Miami Web Fest. Miami Web Fest, an international film festival for web series that was founded in 2014, is slated for Sept. 29 through Oct. 2 in Miami. Official selections to the event are screened for attendees, and often give the general public a chance to see independently produced shows before they are discovered by major television and media entities, such as Netflix. “It’s always a wonderful feeling when people recognize something you worked hard to create,” said Daniel AM Rosenberg, director of Cam_Girlfriend. “From the start, Chaturbate and The Independent Production Fund have supported us as we brought this series to life, and the fact that several outside organizations and outlets have honored the series with awards and selections is nothing short of amazing.” Cam_Girlfriend—created by Ethan Cole, written by Cole and Michael Goldlist and directed by Rosenberg—is a 10-episode web series that depicts life as a cam girl in a humorous, tongue-in-cheek way. The series’ producers are Goldlist, Rosenberg and Jason Kennedy. Cam_Girlfriend was made possible by Canada’s Independent Production Fund. In addition to the official selection in Miami Web Fest, the series recently earned an award for Best Directing - Comedy for Rosenberg from the Indie Series Awards. Cam_Girlfriend was also nominated for Best Comedy Series, Best Writing - Comedy for Cole and Goldlist, Best Lead Actor - Comedy for Dave Keystone and Best Lead Actress - Comedy for Lily LaBeau at the ISAs. The series also won the Webseries Canada Spotlight awards at the eighth annual T.O. WebFest, received nominations at the Minnesota WebFest Awards and the Santa Monica WebFest Awards, and was selected into a number of festivals, including the Buenos Aires International Film Festival’s Web Series category, the New Zealand WebFest and Sydney WebFest.
