Exploration vs. Exploitation

To some people, the subject of independent media brings to mind those trashy low-budget horror flicks from the '60's and '70's—exploitation films loaded with gratuitous sex and senseless violence—substandard content without any semblance of plot, character development or artistic value.

Of course, some people differ in their opinion of this brand of cinema, seeing it as a genre in and of itself and deserving of recognition and praise. Personally, (my opinion), I see it as trashy, substandard and borderline pornographic in some cases.

For the record, Horizon Cybermedia is intended to be the very antithesis of this brand of cinema. This company is not intended to be a factory of substandard media content, regurgitated at regular intervals to satisfy the addictive cravings of some. It is intended to produce media content specifically designed to be of the highest standards—with an eye on quality and artistic integrity above all.

Horizon Cybermedia aspires to be the gourmet restaurant, not the supermarket, in the cultural scene. We aspire to serve up meticulously crafted media productions, not processed trash for mass consumption!

Some historians attribute the downfall of ancient Roman civilization to the circus of Rome—the horrific, yet compelling, spectacle that the public was exposed to on a regular basis at the circus—human slaughter and sacrifice, mortal combat in the gladiatorial arena, etc.—supposedly infected the Roman mob with a mindless bloodlust, a mass hysteria, that eventually led to the collapse of Rome and to the onset of the dark ages, in the opinions of some. The sublime artistic achievements of classical civilization remained buried beneath the sands of time until the Renaissance, when they were ultimately recovered and finally appreciated for the masterpieces that they were.

Horizon Cybermedia is a company created specifically to resist the onset of a new artistic dark age—hopefully, to stimulate a new Renaissance of art and culture in the face of the desert of cultural depravity and barrenness. We sincerely hope that you, the reader, will support us with your viewership in this endeavor to produce for you the highest quality media content our talents allow. Of course, actions speak louder than words, so we hope that you will check back regularly at our website, http://www.explorationtheseries.com and hold us to our word.

Wishing you the very best,

Uday Gunjikar,
