This is a reality drama film. It has two DVD's in the set and 5 episodes plus bloopers. They show real issues, "realistic love scenes" and real drama in this series. The cinematography was not that great and the budget was obviously low but, I like arthouse films and this series will keep you entertained. Although one of the stars and the director has been rumored to have died this year, it is good to see they finally found distribution for the film. The last DVD was recently pulled after they edited some scenes and actors out a few months ago. The story is real! God vs. Fame is the plot. On IMDB it states that the budget was very low and I wonder how good this would have been had they had a bigger budget. So enjoy the DVD while you can.

I happen to be one of those who loves art house films so it was entertaining to me. If you like Quentin Tarrantino and Michael Winterbottom's work, you will love this movie. It is not mainstream and obviously very low budget. The cinematography was crappy and the production was very low budget by appearance but, the movie survives due to the story. It has a great cast of beautiful actresses and very erotic scenes. I saw actress/model Georgianna Robertson in a film called "Ready to wear" directed by the late Robert Altman and thought she did okay but, she was very good in this film. The actor portraying the role of "Stanley" (Emanuelle Edili) has potential to be a great actor someday. The character of "Darnell" is the most entertaining but, I was turned off by this guy's balding hairstyle and bad make up. Someone should have cut dude's hair or shaved it for the film! It was just ugly. This is the first of 9 episodes and it has peaked my interest enough to buy the other 8 DVD's.
