I think Tyler Perry is setting a standard, as well as TD Jakes. I hope to see more on the screen. Is the first step taking scriptwriting courses? How do you get your book or script into the right producer's hands?

Hi, Ann Clay here, badge #41. I think to get more christian based stories in the theaters, we need to seriously support movies that do come to the screen (e.g. Fighting Temptation, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and The Gospel). Go see the thing two or three times, if your pocket book can afford it. When we generate a demand for more stories, movie makers will go searching for more stories. I think, exposing more christan based stories in the writing and reading market will also generate some interest. Money still talks.
I have to agree with Ann. Its all about the money. Not about a good story.
I do believe if you want to keep the integrity of your story, you have to write the script yourself or find someone who understands your voice.
There's a company called Act One who specializes in Faith Based movies. They offer classes and do a workshop once a year.

Where can we get more details about that workshop, LaShaunda?

This is something I am definitely looking to partner with Christian authors on as some really outstanding stories come across our desks at Good Girl.
If anyone knows any T.V. or film producers, please pass the info on to me at www.goodgirlbookclubonline.com
