Last year, I took in a screening of Phil Bransom's entertaining feature film geared toward the youth market, titled "Train Master".
In a nutshell, the exciting drama is all about a handful of kids who get trapped on a run-away train, and are charged with the responsibility of resolving the dilemma in the face of eminent danger.
I reviewed Bransom's - "Train Master" - shortly after the Disney-style project lit up the silver screen at the Backlot Film Festival in Culver City.

On the heels of being well-received in the Hollywood film community, "Train Master" was also accepted into the fold at the Kid's First website.
The Kid's First web site reviews a multitude of projects with the specific aim of shedding the spotlight on films suitable for the youth market - and in doing so - have taken a novel approach.
Children at the Kid's First site give a popcorn rating to films they find suitable for viewing by their contemporaries.
Recently, the affable director's film also received the Dove Award seal of approval for family-oriented bill-of-fare!
In 1991,The Dove Foundation began promoting family-friendly entertainment.
Their standards and criteria are based on Judeo/Christian values which are free from the pressures of commercial interests.
"For years we have watched the morals and attitudes of the entertainment industry slowly creep into our society. We maintain that the number of PG-13 and R rated films, with their increasingly salacious material, are not representative of the desires of millions of movie goers."
"It's time for positive family values to impact those in Hollywood instead of Hollywood impacting family values."

"Train Master" will be available for rent on May 12th at most Hollywood Video stores.
Good luck with it, Phil!
