The film stars Juliette Gariépy as Kelly-Anne , a Quebecois fashion model who moonlights as an online poker stud and internet snoop obsessed by the trial of serial killer Ludovic Chevalier .

Director Pascal Plante was inspired in part by the real-life case of Luka Magnotta , a Canadian killer who broadcast the murder of a young student online.

A trans woman who grew up on the internet grew up in a small town in Brazil .

She turned to private BitTorrent clients, where fans and collectors share digital rips of movies on the sly.

Recent research suggests that uploading, downloading, and swapping movies illegally isn’t necessarily an impediment to a given title’s bottom line.

The film’s French-Canadian distributor insisted on dropping Red Rooms ’ on Canadian video-on-demand services shortly after its theatrical premiere.

“I told him that the day after it's on iTunes in Canada , it's going to be on freaking PirateBay ,” he says, referring to popular BitTorrent client.
