Summary

The Rating System explores the intricate world of motion picture ratings, examining how these classifications shape audience choices and impact the film industry. It delves into the evolution of rating systems, revealing how social and cultural values influence content regulation. Did you know that the criteria raters use include assessments of violence, language, and sexual content, balanced against artistic expression? The book uncovers the decision-making processes and the consequences of extreme ratings for filmmakers and viewers.

 
The book begins by introducing film ratings and their purpose, then traces their historical development from censorship boards to age-based classifications. Chapters detail the contemporary rating process, the criteria used, and the appeals process. It highlights how ratings can shape public discourse and influence creative choices, also noting the consideration of community standards and commercial interests.

    Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started? 
    From the beginning of time, God has called His children to share the Good News. One group of individuals He especially loves to call is artists. Looking at the sweeping majesty of a fiery sunset, or the delicate perfection of a single flower, I know that God is an artist. He uses beauty to share His love, and He calls artists to create beauty through their many mediums to spread His Word. 
    Called to Create is a collection of audio dramas about artists throughout history who heeded God's call to use their talents to connect His children, share His love, and glorify His name.  
    When God calls, the artist listens. 
    Featuring stories based on the following artists: Genesius of Rome, James Tissot, Gabrielle Bossis, Sarah Fuller Flower Adams, Dorothea Sayers, and Tony Fontane.
