I am a screenwriter and have recently been hired to write a project about the subject of cults. After browsing through your site, it seems to me that few are more qualified than yourselves to educate myself and others about the subject.

If I'm going to do justice to this important subject, I need to talk to people with direct experience. From reading this board, I know that many of you have been through traumatic encounters, and know of others with similar stories. I understand how hard and painful it is to share these stories - but, if any of you can find some time to talk with me and answer some of my questions, I would be extremely grateful.

Please let me assure you that, should any of you contact me, every single word will be held in the strictest confidence. My aim here is not to exploit anyone at all, but to be educated by them. This is a subject that still seems to be wrongly hidden from the mainstream - and a film about it demands to be told properly.

My direct email address is minervafilms@yahoo.com. Please email me if you are interested.

(And many thanks to the person who told me about this site and board. I'm sure he/she is reading this!)
