Core Americans Reclaim Film and Television on 12-3-10

(Nashville, TN) On December 3, 2010, reloadnow.org goes live, forever altering the process from page to screen. Those holding the core values of America will be given a place to vote with their dollars on what material is created for their theatre, television, and mobile device screens. The archaic method of creating movies and television shows prevents both an efficient use of funds and an inclusion of mainstream America's conscience. Reload's unique structure as a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation creates a lean operation that produces high-quality, values-driven movies, television shows, and mobile device apps. Projects under development are listed on the Reload website at www.ReloadNow.org. "Media offerings today reflect the values of their creators, not of mainstream America," said Steve Feldman, Emmy-winning director and co-founder of Reload. "Art is not imitating life; it's dictating life. And we're concerned because the art betrays our values." Standards reflected on the big screen and small have steadily tended toward a de-valuing of basic morals held by mainstream Americans. Loyalty, honesty, chivalry, honor, integrity, critical thinking, purity, virtue, respect, nobility, and intelligent discourse are nearly non-existent in U.S. entertainment. Which, in turn, displays an America to the international audience that is not reflective of its actual citizenry. "For example, there's little more demeaning to American women than television and movies today," said Rebeca Seitz, president of Glass Road PR and co-founder of Reload. "My generation of 30-somethings was told by an elite media that our values weren't acceptable. That we should be quiet and get to the back of the bus. To our eternal shame, we did. Those days are over now. The silence you hear at this moment isn't our retreat. That's us, reloading."
