| by Dick Rolfe - CEO, Dove Foundation We are excited to announce that The Dove Foundation will produce a nationally televised entertainment show focusing on movie, DVD and video game reviews. The pilot will be aired on several national Christian television networks and streamed on key faith-based websites. We’ve been considering a television version of our website for years, but never had the interest of distributors. I was recently contacted by executives of several Christian networks looking for a television program that will take the guess work out of the movie-going experience. That started the ball rolling.
Our goal is to make a high-quality program where the co-hosts, who are parents, can talk to other parents about their entertainment choices; essentially a faith and family version of 'At the Movies.'
The show’s pilot is currently unnamed. It will be co-hosted by Grand Rapids natives, Rachael Ruiz, a news anchor and reporter with WOOD-TV, a local NBC affiliate station, and Brian Burch, senior associate with Lambert, Edwards & Associates, a Michigan public relations firm. The two will discuss current, theatrical and DVD releases, using The Dove Foundation guidelines as review criteria.
Derek Emerson, also from Grand Rapids and a part-time actor and model, is the show’s third host. He will review current videogames across all gaming platforms and new media technologies.
Filming the pilot begins in late August and will be broadcast nationally in mid-October. If a network likes the pilot, it could lead to further episodes. [ Read more... ] |
