The True Vibe of Social Networking


Hello Mary

Mary Belton

Pending

You and Funk, Kevin share a network or group.

Hello Mary. Hope all is well with you and yours.

I see we share interest in the Entertainment Industry while sharing Groups and Connections in Linkedin. I have something that will draw your interest and I’m looking for contacts to The Discovery Channel, A&E, MSNBC, TruTV and all Actuality TV Channels.

“Color My World” is not a rigged Reality show it’s an Actuality/Documentary TV Series. From your 10 year old nephew to your Mother-in-Law, male to female and those of all races and nationalities can enjoy the show, while being educated on ‘our facts, Experiences, Problems, Success, Joy and Fears of life’. It's a show you can sit your Mother, kids, father, Preacher, grandkids in front of with Faith. Even if the Television only picks up one channel you know they will be in the hands of a safe company. Your Mother-in-Law will now accept your taste into the family. Ranging from 18-65 all eyes are set to learn from "CMW".

“CMW” is a show that carries over to the next episode. After each episode it will have you asking, “What’s going to happen on the next episode?” And I guarantee you will be on your living room couch hungering for the continuation of that next episode.

We at EnterActuality Media have been networking while filming the trailer. Next and last film date is December 7th. After the editing, our plan of its completion is January of 09. Plans are being made for a showcase for Major TV Networks and Production companies in NYC this summer. We also will be traveling to Atlanta and L.A. to share with others who show interest.

But you may ask, “Why did EnterActuality Media come to me?” Producers here in the US have spoken about directing “CMW” to The Discovery Channel. They speak of, TDC will be open to this Unique Concept. We have connected with other countries who are interested in the trailer upon its completion but the majority has directed us to India.

So we are looking at Networking with those in all areas. Those living in the World Entertainment Industry Field. You, who can see it first on this side of the Sea. You being the first one with this Unique Concept to introduce it to The World of Actuality TV.

Please contact us @ EnterActualityMedia@ gmail.com Website now under-construction but will be back open soon. Once we network and a relationship towards interest develops, we will connect you with our References and Entertainment Lawyers to take that next step forward.

Thanks Very Much and we at EnterActuality Media look forward to hearing from you.

I COMMUNICATE THROUGH WEBCAM TO EXCHANGE THE TRUE VIBE.

Much Love and Respect
EnterActuality Media

Bye bye now
