From the official press release:
Livescream is a feature length gaming horror film from Octopunk Media, written and
directed by Michelle Iannantuono and starring Gunner Willis.

“Nearly every creative choice I made for Livescream was inspired by a game, a game
player, a game developer, a reference to a popular video, or some aspect of the culture.
Over these years I have observed, and felt in my own heart, the deep, intimate
connection between streamers and their fans,” said Iannantuono.
Iannantuono took home the Best Director award from the prestigious Nightmares Film
Festival and the festival favorite film garnered several other Directing and Acting awards on the indie horror circuit, including the award for ‘Best in Show’ at the 2018 Stranger Days Independent Film Festival.
