BeCause Digital Media (BDMI) is a small, Texas-based, not-for-profit entity that seeks to provide low/almost “no cost” digital media products and services to Christian faith-based entities, nursing and assisted-living centers, and a few secular non/not-for-profit operations that, in our judgment, promote traditional American and “family values”.
Our focus is primarily on music performance, song-writing, arranging, recording (audio & video); however, we can and do provide technical assistance in the form of technology consulting advice when requested and our capabilities and perspective match the request/need. Please feel free to use the “Contact Us” page or submit your “membership application” to access some of our digital media projects and resources!
Membership is free, but requires your agreement to accept, comply, and support principles that are NOT universally accepted, particularly with reference to respect for intellectual property rights (AKA: “copyright“) and argumentative or aggressive expressions about matters of faith. A drop list under the HOME tab lists our beliefs, operating principles, etc.
