“I feel like we all connected.”
Lily LaBeau considers Cam_Girlfriend a project that was “just
meant to be.”
“This experience was three years in the making,” LaBeau, the
exclusive Chaturbate broadcaster, tells AVN. “I feel like we all
connected. It was just so beautiful.”
LaBeau & Co.’s labor of love came to fruition on June 26,
when the first of 10 episodes debuted on the Camming Life
YouTube channel.
The original comedy series follows LaBeau’s character Chloe
Cables—a rising cam model—through her struggles to maintain
a relationship with her live-in boyfriend Mike (Dave Keystone)
as she navigates the unique challenges of her profession.
Their complicated romance unfolds in various light-
hearted, often outrageous scenarios based on real-life cam
girl dilemmas, while the series explores the modern-day
intersection between sex, tech, connectivity and love.
CAMGF1 Productions shot every episode over a 12-day
span in February 2018—with a four-day break in between—
in Toronto. The series was made possible thanks to the
Independent Production Fund.
LaBeau, an established adult star with more than 520
performing credits since 2009 who has also been camming on
and off since 2013, reveals she originally was only going to be
behind the scenes for Cam_Girlfriend.
“One of the creators contacted me to be a story consultant
and we bounced around ideas for about a year and then finally
it came down to picking the lead, but we couldn’t find the lead,”
LaBeau explains. “So when we couldn’t find the lead, I kind of
had to convince them. I had to fight a little bit, but I told them,
‘You hired me because you want authenticity for the story, but
so many people will write our stories and pick some mainstream
actress for the role and then you’re selling yourselves short.’ And
it worked. I’m so glad it did.
“It’s all improv, too. These guys—I love their spirit.”
The charismatic native of Seattle drew on her decade-plus career
in adult, showcasing her natural acting talent, quick wit and comic
flair “to give it this really authentic feel.”
“I knew a paragraph of each episode going into this,” LaBeau
says.
