I'm trying to find information on them, but it seems scarce. I've found some youtube videos, but other than that they've got the usual professionalwebsite that has no information on it. I'm just curious who they are, what they do or have done, and if I should sell my penis to them.

better to research the chairman Scott Mitchell Rosenberg
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0003321/
Someone
Scott’s a guy who has had some success in Hollywood. He brought MEN IN BLACK to the big screen and JEREMIAH to HBO. He’s got a number of movies in various stages of development. He’s a Hollywood guy.
Rosenberg was on the comics-to-film bandwagon going back to his days as the founder of Malibu Comics where he was able to steer Night Man to the small screen and Prime towards a full blown movie deal. He would later sell Malibu and its bank of popular Ultraverse characters to Marvel
With Platinum Studios Rosenberg is leveraging his combined experience as comic book publisher and film producer to create a library of properties aimed at finding their way to the big and small screen. This includes the Macroverse, a detailed, broad ranging comic book universe - conceived in a similar fashion to the Ultraverse (i.e. with a large, experienced creative team generating an extensive universe “bibleâ€Â) – that already has several properties in film development despite not having actually published a book as yet.
In any event, things seem to be happening at Platinum at a record pace, as new movie and television deals are popping up left and right, including the most recent announcement of a new picture deal with Atmosphere Entertainment to produce a movie based on the graphic novel KILLING DEMONS by Peter Siegel and Brent White. (More on this later.) In 2004 Platinum signed and exclusive deal to develop Top Cow properties and they’re doing just that with WITCHBLADE, MAGDELANA and THE DARKNESS deals now in place and in various stages of production. Platinum is also putting the finishing touches on a variety of deals surrounding Hexagon Comics, a French comic book company with a library of about 500 characters and 50 years worth of stories. As I understand the deal, Platinum has essentially acquired the multimedia rights – allowing them to do everything except publish Hexagon Comics in the US. (Which appears to be the province of Black Coat Press and isn’t something Rosenberg is too interested in anyway, feeling the European style of comic book doesn’t always translate well to the American market.)

I hate having lived on the internet. I'm just going to keep my mouth shut.
Thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure if the video on you tube of an interview with him was right, but apparently he's the guy in charge. I'm curious now who "platinum dan" is. Furthermore, what type of role is volte6 playing in the company? And furthermore, how do I sell out completely to them?

He's VP of Intellectual Property :)

He's basically the web development department :) I'm not sure of his specific title.
And furthermore, how do I sell out completely to them?
Win the San Diego contest thing?
