Dr. Ted Baehr will present the opening keynote Thursday morning, August 1, at the 30th anniversary of the Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference at Cairn University in Langhorne, PA. In “Transforming Our Culture” he will talk about what you need to know about the current state of the mass media of entertainment and how to use your faith to make Hollywood and the world a better place for your children and grandchildren.

Dr. Baehr is also teaching a six-hour continuing session on “Breakthrough Scriptwriting.” Participants will learn how to write a script that is structurally sound, entertaining, morally responsible, and very marketable. He will show you how to go from treatment to theatrical release so you can get the Word out through the mass media of entertainment. He also includes valuable information about key principles of communicating through movies and television from a Christian perspective.

A man with a vision who is making a difference, Dr. Baehr is the founder and chairman of The Christian Film and Television Commission™. He is an award-winning media authority often on television, radio, and in print. His purpose is to be used by God to redeem the values of the mass media and encourage families to use wisdom in selecting entertainment. His books include The Culture-Wise Family, How to Succeed in Hollywood (without losing your soul), and others.

Dr. Baehr is the publisher of MOVIEGUIDE® Magazine (www.movieguide.org). In an email I received from him this morning he said:

“MOVIEGUIDE® is the biggest faith based and almost the biggest family movie and entertainment review site which is why the Hallmark Channel broadcasts the Gala and the short form MOVIEGUIDE® program. Hallmark came to us after looking at the numbers. The average age of people going to most faith based sites, is 55. Our readers average 34 years old with a tremendous growth in 12 to 24 year olds We grew 400% in three years. We are now millions of uniques. We are many times bigger than other sites, because people come to us thinking we are just the most thorough movie review site, whereas we are teaching in all that we do.

“We have a Tuesday DVD newsletter and a Friday new in theaters newsletter on the web (www.movieguide.org).

“We also have a radio program that recently was independently audited to have over 21 million monthly listeners. And we have a TV show syndicated across faith and family networks. www.movieguide.org

“Our iphone app  (www.movieguide.org) was a top 50, and through our various Facebook groups (MOVIEGUIDE ® Facebook group included) we have millions of fans.

“The number of unique readers and visitors of MOVIEGUIDE® has grown 406% over the past three years!!!”

It’s not too late to register for the July 31 – August 3 conference and “Breakthrough Scriptwriting.” No registration is needed for Thursday morning’s keynote at 8:30 am that is open free of charge to the community.
