I first heard about Pvt Chat during its long post-production period in 2019. The film struck me as too good to be true: an erotic drama, directed by Ben Hozie of Bodega, about a man (Peter Vack) obsessed with an internet cam girl (Julia Fox), along with supporting turns by Buddy Duress, Dasha and Anna from Red Scare, and Keith Poulson––not to mention a score by Parquet Courts’ Austin Brown.
With the film now in theaters and on digital, I asked Hozie to take part in a conversation, promising I “wouldn’t ask any boring or stupid questions.” He graciously agreed.
The Film Stage: One of the things I appreciate about Pvt Chat is how you handled the sex scenes—they’re super unstylized and raw, with an intimate, unpredictable quality. What was the process like? What were some of the conversations you had with the cast and crew to set the tone?...
