MOMS THAT MATTER™
5,000 Moms . . . Turning Our Values into Movies
Most films today are inspired from by stories already embraced by the mainstream culture. Ninety per cent of today’s movies come from video games, true stories, popular books, theme park rides, comic books, and TV characters. When a book – in this case a children’s or family-friendly book – makes it to the New York Times Best Seller list, it signals to the movie studio that this story is ready for prime time. This is a story that the families in America want to see in the movie theater!
MOMS THAT MATTER coordinates the book-buying power of 5,000 everyday moms to turn stories of great value into national bestsellers, positioning them to be made into entertaining movies that shape the ideas and values of our next best generation.
Michelle Borquez is "Mom No. 1" and President of Moms That Matter. Along with being a mother of five children, Michelle has worked many years as a media professional, focused on bringing positive and uplifting films to the screen. This passion was the entire reason she hosted a radio program called "The Mom Connection" in 1987, and then went on to launch "Shine" magazine in 1999 which featured positive, spiritually impacting articles, tasteful fashion, plus health and travel tips, all from a Christian worldview. Today, Michelle says:
"There is no bigger screen and no bigger story than the one that is told on the big screen. When my children watch a movie at the theater, the story and the values it teaches becomes larger than life. I want to make sure that the right stories -- stories that reinforce family values, illustrate good choices, and encourage self esteem -- are making their way to those big screens for our children.
" Five times a year, moms like me -- moms that matter -- are going to select award winning stories from some of the best storytellers in the world. and Together, at the same time, we 5,000 moms that matter will individually purchase their books. Our collective buying power will move our selection to the New York Times Best Seller list, where film studios like Walden Media, who are anxiously waiting to create films for our families to enjoy, will see the book as a story embraced by the public and move it into consideration for a film.
"Thru our efforts, five times a year we moms that matter will become the largest single determining factor for moving stories of significance to the movie screen. We can influence the movies that reinforce the values we share."Learn More at www.MomsThatMatter.com
