Personal and Career:
I have an interest in Producing.

In addition to features, Matrixx Entertainment produces documentaries on timely and controversial subjects which may be political, economic or highly technical in nature (and which the mainstream media, due to its growing conflicts of interests with advertisers, cannot carry). To this end we occasionally send out summaries or emails to invite responsible dialog and debate from concerned citizens. You are welcome to join in at any time with your views, but you are not required to as a Reader. Be warned, however, some of the subjects discussed may be disturbing (and even taboo), so if you are averse to controversy for any reason, or have spamaphobia, please refrain from signing up as a Reader or check the below box to indicate that you understand.
Understood. I do NOT have Spamaphobia.
