Satan is attacking the world on many fronts. One of his powerful tools is all forms of media: music, news, movies, tv, books, magazines, and what gets passed off as education. His attacks are both blatant and subtle as he seeks to lower the standards of the world and gradually desensitize individuals to perversions, false philosophies, and wickedness.
I am looking for passionate individuals wanting to serve the Lord, directly bless people’s lives, and promote righteous living through the fruits of their labors. The goal is to produce a family-friendly, values-based media company that profitably develops and distributes media that teaches gospel principles and brings people to Christ. A portion of the company’s profits will fund a non-profit foundation that seeks to “clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive”.
The company is meant to be a counter to the many negative and evil influences out there that are distributed through media: music, news, movies, tv, books, magazines, and what gets passed off as education. Just think of how few good, quality movies are shown in a movie theater at any given time. Even many movies that might otherwise be good have that “one scene”. What TV shows are actually virtuous, uplifting, edifying, etc?
The company will be a technophile, utilizing multiple communication channels (emerging as well as traditional) so that we can “fight” on multiple fronts. It will also grow based on cash flow and conservative financing strategies
If your are an entrepreneur who wants an opportunity to do good and directly benefit people’s lives for god, please contact me. Or if you know others who might be interested in this business opportunity, please give me their contact information.
Thank you!

I am in the preliminary stages of planning and have a 20-year film veteran who has expressed interest in working with me on producing a film (provided I pay her, of course) and who will play a key role in gathering a quality team. My own background is an MBA with marketing experience along with film classes, and work with a video company where I worked in project management, camera operating, and editing. I also have experience stage acting, and have appeared in ads that have aired on the radio and the Internet.
This will be a high quality film and as its backbone, it needs an excellent and well-written story that can be adapted to film.
I am searching for for a well-crafted story that can be adpated to create a film, or an existing or started screenplay/script. The story needs to meet certain criteria:
1. Be contemporary with the ability to film in Utah or nearby states, although the stated location in the story could be anywhere.
2. Be Christ-centered and teach at least one basic principle of the gospel, although religion never has to be directly mentioned.
3. Be a well-told and compelling story where music or special effects would simply be frosting on the top of a scrumptious, can’t-put-it-down cake.
4. Be a story pre-teens through adults can enjoy.
5. Be a story that would be really fun to film.
The following aren’t necessary, but are would-like-to-haves:
1. Have some element of adventure.
2. Some romance, although the story definitely doens’t need to be a romance.
3. Singing
Do you have a story that meets these criteria? Do you have additional criteria you think I should add to this list? Do you know of someone who might know of someone with such a story, or have you read a book lately that meets these criteria?
Please let me know at brandanhadlock at yahoo dot com.

I had the thought awhile ago to start blogging about my efforts to create movies that would prepare people to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ. Recently I felt the need to act on past guidance and make my “project” a priority. I started tonight looking first at Christian-film-related sites, then at LDS-film-related sites (a subset of Christian film). Still, though I had done some reading, I felt like I hadn’t accomplished anything. Then I decided to act on an idea I had had before and converted this blog (which I had previously begun to set up for something else) into a blog focused specifically on my activities in this area.
I will use this blog to keep people updated as to our progress. I say “our” becuase I hope to be joined by many in this endeavor. It will take help to create, produce, distribute, and support great film projects. You may be able to help in some of the of following ways:
- Providing ideas for films
- Reading script drafts and giving your feedback
- Spreading the word about an upcoming film
- Commiting to see a film and getting your social network to see the film (this could be extremely important in obtaining investor financing)
- Acting in the film
- Being a member of the crew
- Praying
- Various other ways not yet listed
- Encouraging me to keep moving forward
- Share your thoughts and ideas by leaving comments
- Link to this site
It’s late and time for me to do other things this night. Your ideas and support really are needed to create media that will combat the evil influence of much of today’s movies, music, books, music, etc. Please leave a comment and subscribe to receive updates by clicking on the subscribe link at the top of the page.
