CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA -- Family Values Cinema (FVC), a California-based DVD-of-the-month club, is anything but typical Hollywood. The company brings families together with movies that embrace inspiring stories and uplifting messages that reinforce traditional family values.
FVC got its start when Founder Patty Leonard, a recognized former home video distributor for many years, became disheartened by the growing number of films with inappropriate violence and sex being targeted towards families. Leonard created a subscription program to bring families together with movies that embrace superb storytelling and inspiring messages.
"I'm just like most moms in America," says Leonard. "When my daughter was young, I found that content ratings of mainstream movies couldn't always be trusted, so I made it my mission to find movies parents would approve of and enjoy watching with their kids."
Leonard created subscription-based FVC, using a unique, triple-filter review process for its selections. First, FVC reviews films from all over the world to determine which movies meet the highest standards of quality and moral concepts. Approved movies are then reviewed by the National Board of Mothers, a select group of concerned moms across the country that grade films based on their entertainment value and wholesome family content. Finally, if a film gets a Double A+ rating, it is submitted to the non-profit Dove Foundation for its "Family Approved" seal.
FVC selections are not typically available through national retailers or video rental stores, making the film-watching experience truly unique. Additionally, each selection in the DVD-of-the-month program comes with a Family Discussion Guide to help parents spark conversation with their children about thought-inspiring moments from the film. There's nothing to return, since the movies are collectibles that members keep.
