                                                    The Film Advisory Board (FAB) was founded by Elayne Blythe in 1975, which included                                                                  a review committee to preview and evaluate films through the publication of a monthly                                                                  newsletter and bestowed an Award of Merit on an annual basis.

​

                                                    Some of the Lifetime Achievement Awards from FAB were given to Oscar Winners Jack                                                                Lemmon, Mickey Rooney and Bette Davis to name a few.

​

 

                                                     The Film Advisory Board is a non-profit organization which developed a rating system to let                                                        parents know the appropriateness of films, video, and television programming that was suitable for their children, teens and young adults to view.
 

The Film Advisory Board is a member-supported organization. The FAB's "Award of Excellence" was developed to award quality family oriented and children's entertainment in both print and electronic media.

​

The second division of FAB is the FAB Ratings System which was originally developed by Elayne Blythe in six categories  Language (L) , Violence (V) , Nudity (N), Sex (S) , Erotica (E), Cruelty to Animals (CA)  and Humane treatment of Animals (HA)  in cooperation with the American Humane Association to arouse parents to a consciousness of their responsibilities in the selection of the films viewed by their children.  

​

Today, the Film Advisory Board has expanded to include awarding international films, video content, documentaries and digital media.
