Ben Hozie: When I first started writing the film, I wanted to make it a movie that explored how computers are changing consciousness for good. Then I decided I wanted to do a romantic story, and thought that I could update the classic trope of a guy falling in love with a prostitute by having a guy fall in love with a cam girl. And then I was thinking a lot about how the dopamine reaction you get from gambling is so similar to that on social media and the internet. So all those thoughts were swimming in my head.
