Diane Preston-Reilly -- As a former teacher in the public school system for ten years, Diane Preston- Reilly was able to personally witness how young people idolized television characters. In the late 70's while Diane was working on her doctorate in education the volume of research data she unmasked concerning television's impact on youth and society, was very indicting. The sobering results of her research, coupled with a deep burden and dedication to challenge young people, motivated Diane in the fall of 1980 to found Challenger Films, an Atlanta-based independent film production company. The mission of Challenger Films was (and still is) to produce wholesome programming for our nation's youth by profiling positive, real-life role models.
