Quality Family Television
May 31, 2011
Moms4FamilyTV is a grassroots organization of moms with the goal of promoting high-quality family television. Their goal to "bring back family movie night" by producing family entertainment for NBC and FOX. Since they have begun, and with assistance from their sponsors, they have already aired five films on NBC and FOX and are making five more films in 2011. The next movie, Field of Vision, airs on June 11 on NBC at 8/7c. The story centers around the issue of bullying and shows both the challenges and rewards of doing the right thing--even when that's the hardest thing to do. All of the movies in the Family Movie Night initiative highlight core, universal values in an entertaining way. Through mysterious footage captured on a malfunctions second-hand video camera, Madison High School's star quarterback, Tyler McFarland, learns that some of his teammates have been bullying Cory Walker, a troubled new transfer student. Aware that sharing this information with the coach might get his friends kicked of the team an ultimately cost the school the state championship, Tyler must choose what's more important: winning or doing what's right. As these events unfold, the camera also reveals more surprising footage to Tyler's kid sister Lucy... She learns that Cory has a secret past, unknown to even him. Now Lucy must convince her mom (Faith Ford, Murphy Brown) and family that the camera's revealing insight is not a product of her imagination she enlists their assistance to help find the answers Cory so desperately needs. It's a compelling and intriguing story that shows both the challenges and rewards of doing he right thing even when it's tough to do.
