This is it! Horizon Cybermedia, Inc. finally reaches its first anniversary! As you might know already, the company and website, http://www.explorationtheseries.com were launched on July 29, 2008—a modest media company with titanic ambitions! Founded on the premise that raw talent, skill and ability are the cornerstones of success on the universal platform of the internet, as opposed to political connections or the influence of self-appointed cultural gatekeepers, Horizon Cybermedia is steadily growing into a media company in its own right.
It has been an exciting and eventful first year, with Horizon Cybermedia making strong and steady progress towards our stated goals:
- We have launched the first two episodes of the Exploration Film Series, with several more episodes still to come. The episodes, The Elephanta Caves and The Wine Country are currently online at our website http://www.explorationtheseries.com.
- Horizon Cybermedia has a YouTube channel featuring promotional videos for our films in HD.
- Horizon Cybermedia is also currently podcasting on iTunes.
- Horizon Cybermedia has a channel on Blip.tv.
- Horizon Cybermedia's promotional videos are also available on many other video-sharing sites on the web, such as Revver, DailyMotion, Yahoo, MySpace, MetaCafé, Veoh, Viddler, Vimeo, Sevenload, i2TV and others.
- Horizon Cybermedia has been regularly updating our blog with fresh, relevant, topical content for your reading pleasure and interest. Articles from the blog have been posted across the web at numerous article publishing and ezine sites.
- Horizon Cybermedia has also produced a DVD of a special version of our first film under the title Exploring Elephanta. The DVD was originally created for complimentary distribution in the film festival circuit. It will soon be available for purchase as a collector's item.
However, the past is prologue. Horizon Cybermedia has only one direction it plans to move—onward and upward. Check back regularly with us at our website and blog for plenty of fresh, new media content to come. Some of the projects currently in the works include:
- Several more episodes in the ongoing film series, Exploration with Uday Gunjikar. We have already completed principal photography for films on such venues as Calcutta, India; Big Bear Lake, CA; the Buddhist Kanheri Caves near Mumbai, India; Half Moon Bay, CA, and other fascinating locations.
- Also in the works is a DVD release of the entire first season of the film series, Exploration with Uday Gunjikar, which will be on sale soon.
- We also have plans to release a print edition of selected articles from our blog. This project, however, will probably be several more years in the making. Expect the book to be released probably on our fifth anniversary (if not sooner).
- We are also working on several script ideas (in primary stages) and we plan, in the future, to expand our production scope to plot-driven short and feature-length film projects. We will also continue to produce high quality documentaries. Expect the rate and scope of our production efforts to grow dramatically as we continue to expand.
Horizon Cybermedia's ambitious media production agenda is, ultimately, dependent on you, the viewer, for support. Our motivation has always been to produce high quality media content for your consumption—media content that respects your intelligence and appeals to your highest instincts to elevate your spirit. We aspire to produce quality art and media that holds to our mission statement:
To be a positive voice in the media space;
to put artistic integrity above mercenary interests;
to make a truthful, meaningful artistic statement.
