A few words from Cesar Love Alexandre on the video
“STRUCK is a story about camboys, boys that get « tokens », virtual money, by filming themselves doing various types of activities the viewers asked them to do. It is about the relationship our generation entertains with technology, especially concerningself-image. Our main character is a camboy, who’s filming his entire life through his computer. It’s about his relation to this activity and how it slowly evolves from being just for fun to being an actual transaction, a job. It also explores the ideas of gender, sexual orientation, and stereotypes that are evolving nowadays and becoming blurry, through the freedom of expression and exhibition internet offers.”
