Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant - New York Times Best Selling Authors

There’s a conversation happening about movies and television that goes deeper than box office numbers or celebrity gossip. It’s about the ideas woven into the stories we watch and the principles behind who gets to tell them. Reel Values, Real News is that conversation-a grounded look at the film and entertainment industry from the perspective of the Waco Family & Faith International Film Festival, presented in partnership with the Rogue Media Network. This isn’t a review show, but a place to examine the craft, the business decisions, and the cultural impact of what’s on our screens. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with people who are genuinely invested in the medium, discussing not just what values are portrayed on the reel, but what values should guide the industry itself. You’ll hear thoughtful analysis on trends, ethics in storytelling, and the often-overlooked human elements that make or break projects. It’s for anyone who loves film but sometimes wonders about the bigger picture behind the curtain. By tuning into this podcast, you join a community that believes entertainment matters-and that the values behind it matter just as much.
