Step into Apartment Zero...

Struggling to work in Hollywood is easier than trying to stay sane in the loony community of Apartment Zero.

Aspiring screenwriter Matt Matthews and his actress fiancée, Nesha Adams, an interracial couple, live in this low rent refuge with his toys, her make-up and their one piece of furniture. They surrender their personal space to their eccentric neighbors who consider a crack in the front door a formal invitation to intrude. 

Matt and Nesha’s feeble attempts to control their past and present problems soon crumble. And before long their off-the-wall neighbors have them bouncing off the walls.

Apartment Zero is filled with friendships, comedy, romance, desperate dreamers, odd neighbors, extended families, and love. It’s a wonderfully zany show with characters that each of us have known in our lives, whether we wanted to or not. There are no cardboard, cut-out stereotypes here. The show and the characters are real – with real being a relative term. 

Be warned, some of the episodes are a little provocative, a little controversial, but all are fun, quirky, and heartwarming (in a warped kind of way).

A REVEALING TELL-ALL OF LA’S PORN VALLEY
AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF A SUCCESSFUL PORN-TREPRENEUR.
I AM NEO - A Faux-Fictional Tale of the Adventures of a Porn Photographer
I AM NEO
BY: NEO
Released June 7, 2017
Amazon - Kindle / Paperback

I Am Neo is not just about sex. It’s a detailed analysis of the inner workings of the pornography business, and the award-winning photographer (with a heart of gold) thrust into it during the early days of internet porn.

Additionally, it’s about the misadventures of wanting to get laid while photographing young (over 18), beautiful, willing, and very naked models (and all the drama that goes with that).

While pursuing the profits of porn, Neo finds more than hot flesh in his studio. Each woman who models for him seems within his lustful grasp until he discovers why she’s diving into the clutches of the adult industry. The more pictures he captures, the more he uncovers what fuels their mutual desires – and it isn’t money or sex.

Surprisingly real, sometimes blunt, thought-provoking, and genuinely touching. I Am Neo is a (mostly) honest, vivid, lurid, and oft-times humorous, behind the scenes glimpse into the ins and outs of the pornography business.
