COLLEGE BOYS LIVE

So utterly prescient! Filmed in the early 2000s on MiniDV but basically feeling like it was made yesterday, this complicated documentary portrait of an early-Internet camboy content house perfectly captures the era’s seediness, haircuts and homophobia. The horny side of our digital lives was there from the beginning of being online, as seen through the lens of CollegeBoysLive.com: a McMansion in Orlando rigged with webcams in every room. The young men who end up here are escaping troubled pasts, and strive to find a chosen family among themselves. Director George O’Donnell brilliantly captures their turbulence, lies and fantasies, along with the friction from surrounding neighbors who deem the house to be no more than a literal den of sin.
