Zero Tolerance Earns 2016 XBIZ Award Nominations

VENICE, Calif. — Zero Tolerance and sister companies 3rd Degree and Evolved Novelties have announced their nominations for the upcoming 2016 XBIZ Awards, honoring the very best in adult entertainment.

“Shades of Scarlet 2: Higher Power,” the big budget feature from director Mike Quasar, earned a nom for “BDSM Release of the Year.”

“This is my one pet project that I really obsessed over and I’m ecstatic with the results,” explains Quasar. “Everyone brought their best to the set and it shows and I thank them all very much.”

“We’re honored to have scored so many nominations,” Quasar adds. “It is gratifying to be recognized for all of the hard work we do at Zero Tolerance and its sister companies all year. In a world where free porn is no longer the exception, we’re still here and still going strong.”

The company’s nominations for the 2016 XBIZ Awards also include “Male Sex Toy/Line of the Year,” for the Perfect Stroke; and “Best Scene — Gonzo Release,” for “Prince the Punisher,” featuring Riley Reid, Richelle Ryan, Summer Brielle, Valentina Nappi, Veruca James and Prince Yahshua.
