2026-07-22

VIRTUAL GIRLFRIENDS is a creative documentary feature film co-produced by three companies: Helium Film (Czech Republic), Super film (Slovakia), and Soul Food (Bulgaria). Having collaborated on previous projects with Super film and connected at industry event Ex Oriente in Varna with Soul Food, we see an opportunity to unite our complementary strengths and shared vision. With Czech expertise in socially impactful documentaries, Slovak artistic contributions, and Bulgarian insight into international documentary markets, this co-production leverages the best of European collaboration. The synergy among us is enhanced by the film’s universal appeal and relevance. Documentary film VIRTUAL GIRLFRIENDS explores the transformative impact of platforms such as OnlyFans on modern intimacy, relationships, and identity. This innovative project integrates bold storytelling with visually striking aesthetics, creating a thought-provoking narrative that resonates with global audiences. This documentary seeks to illuminate the dynamics of digital intimacy while sparking crucial societal discussions, underscoring its importance as a European co-production with global impact. Building on the success of CAUGHT IN THE NET, which became the most-watched Czech documentary and got significant international recognition, we will apply its proven outreach and distributing strategies and impactful storytelling techniques to maximize the reach of VIRTUAL GIRLFRIENDS. The experience gained in crafting a culturally relevant narrative and engaging diverse audiences guided us in the development and will continue in the production, marketing, and distribution of the film.
