Why am I doing this?

I feel that media in general (television, video games, movies, radio, art, etc) is mostly comprised of content that does not promote spiritual, moral, ethical growth in its audience. I feel that media has an enormous impact and influence of its audience and can be used as a tool to help people grow in a positive way.

Over the past few months I have gone through (and am still going through) an overwhelming spiritual awakening. I have had the clarity to take a good look at my life, where it is headed, and how I impact others.

“…we need to look again at the stories we are living and ask if this is the best we can do.” – Laurie Beth Jones, Jesus Life Coach

Recently I have spent a lot of time reading, praying, and looking for guidance on what my true purpose is. It has become crystal clear to me that I need to use my creative talents to produce media that provide entertaining, ethical, moral, and spiritually uplifting content.

Right now I see this content being distributed via the internet, but I see this eventually growing to a point where content will be aired on television, perhaps through PBS. I want this content to be available to the public completely free of charge.

I feel that it is necessary to make this venture a Nonprofit Organization and am in the process of filing all of the necessary tax papers to make that a reality. I see this as a something that needs to be supported by a like-minded community. I am not doing this to make money. I believe that my purpose is to help fill a void of quality media.

This project has to be community supported. While I will do this on my own if I need to, I feel that this can become a powerful force in media if others help me.

As stated earlier, I am writing up the paperwork to turn this into a Nonprofit Organization. For this to be a NPO, I will need a Board of Directors. Currently that’s only me. If you feel that this is something necessary and are willing and capable to support it, please consider applying for a position on the Board of Directors. Email me at dan.risemedia@gmail.com with some information about yourself and we can pursue this further.

I would love some assistance with building a website for this project. Web design is not one of my strongest suits and I feel that there are others out there that can create a much better website. If you are willing to help with that, please send an email to dan.risemedia@gmail.com. I have already registered a domain name and have 500mb of web space allocated for this purpose.
