Quite a few posters here, including me, miss the old Sineplex productions.
Luckily we still have some scenes from Mr Ananas.

There was a split in 2014 or 2015 (I can't remember which year it was now) and that's how we ended up with two separate studios, "Sineplex SOS" which operated in Russia and Mexico and then folded a few years ago, and "Gonzo" which still operates today in Prague.
After Sineplex crashed and burned, I decided to take some time away from porn. Within the past year, I have been planning a comeback as a solo producer, which started with some test scenes that I published here recently (with Marley Brinx), but COVID fucked everything up, so now I'm planning a number of separate ventures which will allow me to produce scenes in both Prague and the U.S. After those have been put into motion, I will step back for a bit, watch how each of my ventures fare, and then continue with the ones that are successful.
I don't want to commit to specific details right now because everything is so delicate and subject to change. For example, I had originally planned to shoot in Florida over the summer, but that plan was totally ripped to shreds thanks to the insane rate of COVID in Florida at that time.
Anyway, Sineplex is no more because the man behind it, the fabled "SOS", no longer has any association with LP.

The guy was good for sure but we had to let him go. He was threatening us all the time during moments of madness for no reason. Then there was the payment fiasco. And lastly some allegations from models. And even though they were questionable it was already too much. Too bad because I would have gladly kept him and he would be making a lot of money today. I learned a lot from the guy. Ultimately the real problem was his substance abuse. It can and will destroy anyone's life.

I do want to take a moment to acknowledge that SOS is the reason I am able to participate in the industry today. I've said this a few times in the past, but never in the language that it deserves.
SOS took a chance on me. He was the only one willing to give me a seat at the table, even though I was completely unproven and had no experience at all, and he did it purely on the basis of my enthusiasm. He was the one who taught me the rules of the industry and the tricks of the trade, who waited patiently while I was still learning and absorbed the losses of my efforts that didn't pan out as expected, and who introduced me to many of the industry people I am now privileged to know and maintain as contacts. (I even had an hour-long phone conversation with Greg Lansky at one point, which was entirely down to SOS. Long story... Nothing ever came of it, but it did happen, and that was a very exciting day for me.)
I had been actively trying to wiggle my way into the industry for a long time before SOS took notice of me, so I would have eventually been able to make that happen somehow, but without SOS's guidance, I am certain that I would have crashed and burned immediately. Porn ain't as easy as it looks, at least if you want to do it well, and in retrospect I realize that I had absolutely no clue what I was talking about or how any of this works until SOS gave me the chance to learn from experience.
I'm not the only one either. He mentored a lot of great talents who got their start thanks to his guidance, including Jay Sin, Omar, and some other names you probably don't know who are just as talented and "felt", even if you may not know who they are.
He definitely had personal problems and that soured things between us towards the end. Sineplex's demise was entirely his own fault, and that's especially sad because he put years of time and energy into building that studio and maintaining the standards of the concept, but the fact remains that I would not be here without him and I will always be grateful for his mentorship.

I appreciate the history lesson. I had a few of those details but didn't have it all tied together like that.
