[2] It stars Madeline Brewer, Patch Darragh, Melora Walters, Devin Druid and Michael Dempsey.
She is obsessed with her rank on the site, hoping to become number one someday, but struggles to compete with other camgirls who deliver racier content.
At Jordan's birthday party, a fight breaks out between him and his friends after they happen across one of Alice's streams and ridicule her, which causes her mother to inadvertently find out the truth.
When the fake Lola announces an upcoming joint show with fellow camgirl BabyGirl, Alice unsuccessfully attempts to get in contact with the latter.
When "Lola" goes live during Alice's date with Barney, he assaults her, accusing her of lying about her identity to scam him, but she manages to free herself.
Alice goes home and sets up her vanity mirror, camera, and television in a position that creates an illusion showing multiples of her.
She decided that a documentary was not the best medium, telling Vice, "I felt like often, for people that I talk to about camming, no matter how much I would explain it or show it to them, they still didn't fully get it."
The story element of Lola having her image stolen came from Mazzei having her camming videos pirated and reposted without crediting her.
[4] 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.
[4] Mazzei and director Daniel Goldhaber had been friends since high school, and he had previously directed some of her pornographic videos.
The website's critical consensus reads, "Smart and suspenseful, CAM is a techno-thriller that's far more than the sum of its salacious parts – and an outstanding showcase for Madeline Brewer in the leading role.
