Grad Show - Presentation

CONCEPT

• A documentary to display the life of cam girls and escorts 
• Displaying the girls in a non bias way, exploring their everyday life and lifestyle over the course of a few weeks 
• To attempt to educate people and break the stigma that sex workers aren’t good people and only do it for money.

PLOT

• Daily insight into the life of cam girls/escorts - what they deal with on a regular basis, what their work consists of, who are their clients 
• Discussions about how it makes them feel as a female, their views on the industry they work in 
• Background into their lives and how they came into the industry, do they plan to keep this career for many years, are they comfortable in their career/life decisions 
• How they view their industry as a woman, do they think there are many issues surrounding the females in the sex industry, are they treated differently because of what they do, are they open about their job

LOCATION

The main location would potentially be the flat/house of the girl/s that we’re filming with, if they were comfortable to allow us into their space.
We would make sure to protect the identity of where they live and not show anything that would give away the remote location.
