(Cyberspace) July 29, 2005 - WebDreams, the much anticipated 'Docu-Soap' tracking the daily lives of people in the online porn trade, will begin airing on ShowCase as of September 2005.

Produced by Montreal-based Galafilm and directed by Ziad Touma (''Saved by the Belles'') and Josh Dorsey (''One Day''), WebDreams follows the professional and personal endeavours of a varied group of adult web entrepreneurs over the period of a year and a half.

Cast member Mark Prince, whose company 2much.net is featured, said, ''Everyone here is really excited about it. Even though cameras followed us everywhere for almost an entire year, Ziad [Touma, Director] did a great job in making sure that they didn't intrude. We hardly even knew they were there''.

WebDreams followed the crew of 2Much as well as chat hostesses Violet, Laurelle, Luna and others of LiveCamNetwork.com, Dugmor!, founder of JoinRightNow, and Malezia (who has since signed with porn heavyweight Vivid Video) at work and play, from hardcore shoots to domestic confessions, live video chats and business deals.

Executive Producer Arnie Gelbart supervised production of the series over a period of almost two years, with cameras tracking the subjects to industry conventions in Las Vegas, Hollywood, FL, and Quebec City, as well as parts of Europe.

According to Producer Michael Kronish, the show documents the glamour and hard work involved for ''people who have chosen to make their sex lives available to the online community,'' as well as depicting how some reconcile their public, taboo personas with their private, personal lives - or don't.

''Fortunately the show is on at 10pm after my grandmother goes to sleep,'' said Violet, a LiveCamNetwork.com chat hostess. ''Of course some of us are nervous."

"The rift between their public and private lives is fascinating," said Kronish.

Emmy-award winning Galafilm has specialized in documentaries the likes of Fire Within, about the Cirque du Soleil, as well as independent features like The Blue Butterfly, starring William Hurt.

2much.net, known for the LiveCamNetwork 1.9 live video chat solution and flagship-site LiveCamNetwork.com, has raised the standard of live adult video chat on the web as its client base has grown into the foundations of a new network.

Dugmor!, who started with a handful of non-nude erotic sites, has expanded his Webmaster affiliate program JoinRightNow.com into one of the biggest and most profitable businesses on the adult web.

WebDreams was picked up early last year by Showcase after company executives saw the pilot, and was soon developed in association with the Canadian broadcaster.

US-based counterpart Showtime is expected to acquire all ten episodes as well later this year.

I thought it was worth posting, especially since Gonzo posted a link to the 2much.net ketchup video:

Galafilm approached us about this a few years ago, They wanted to do a documentary about the day-to-day life of Carol Cox! That was the original intent of all this. But, as soon as they mentioned coming into our home, and filming the kids, Carol said "No way!". We have, and still, work with them on various projects.

I will say that Galafilm is a very professional and fair company. They won't be out trying to do a sensationalist exposé on Porn, but will treat it all with respect. They are the same company that did the series "Private Parties" that has been playing on the Documentary Channel, that featured the (mainly) on-line sex lives of various people. They have also done a large number of mainstream documentaries, many of which that have won awards.

It should be a good show.

I think it'll hit the Documentary Channel but it'll be a while if before we see it. There are already porn related documentaries and programs on cable and satellite, so I don't see why we wouldn't get this.
