Hollyhood — Valerie Joyner

A streetwise Hollywood producer will do anything to stay on top in this "daring and unapologetic depiction of how it is to be Black in La-La-Land" (Rosie Perez).

Tyrone Hart clawed his way up from DC's drug-infested streets to the rich and glamorous world of Hollywood. A producer and Tinseltown heavyweight, he's got the cash to burn . . . but what happens when the ratings drop?


Ty's best friend Maxwell maintains a public persona as an enlightened, Zen-influenced writer . . . but his private life and secret habits have him rehab-bound. Meanwhile, Ty's girlfriend is talking marriage . . . when she's not pursuing one of her extracurricular playdates. And it's hard to stay faithful when there are ten gorgeous women for every step Ty takes.


Determined to live his dream, Ty uses his street-sense and savvy instincts to keep control of his career, his show, his life . . . and his friends. Hollywood might be the land of dreams, but in Hollyhood the only dreams you get are the ones you make yourself.
