King Kelly is a 2012 independent film that follows a young woman (the eponymous "Kelly", played by Louisa Krause) who is obsessed with gaining celebrity through her webcam stripteases, and her best friend Jordan (Libby Woodbridge) as they try to reclaim her car after it is stolen by her ex-boyfriend on the 4th of July. The film was directed by Andrew Neel and filmed almost entirely on cellphone cameras.[1]

King Kelly was shown at several 2012 film festivals, including South by Southwest,[2][3] the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival,[4] and the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival[5] where Louisa Krause was awarded "Best Actress".[6]
