Every 15 Minutes, Anaheim, CA ; Loara HS 2008

"Every 15 Minutes, someone falls victim to a drunk driving accident."

About The Program :
Every 15 Minutes is a two-day program focusing on high school juniors and seniors, which challenges them to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions. Along with alcohol related crashes, it focuses on the impact that their decisions would have on family and friends.

About Making the Movie : This was one of the more, if not most exciting, stressful, and successful projects I've worked on. My close friend Mark & I, had already filmed the Police Station & Car Scenes a couple days before, but we had literally a day to film the Accident, Ambulance, & Hospital Scene then edit the whole movie so it could be viewed during the Funeral Assembly the following day. It wasn't easy because we faced many challenges, we were not equipped with the best cameras, many changes in plans with actors and scheduling, and not all the shots were perfect as planned & time was harshly running against us. However, though it all, we overcame it and in the end everything we went though was worth it. We were able to educate and touch the hearts of our viewers, and that alone was worth it. Lately I've been uninspired to make anymore videos/movies, but after all this, I found the inspiration to start up again. This was all worth it, and looking back and being only 18 years old, I'm very grateful and thankful for the opportunity to take part in this life changing experience at such a young age, it was truly once in a lifetime.

Hey,

To all the stupid kids out there who comment on how that looked cool, well its not. I'm a firefighter with the Ontario Fire Dept. and i can't tell you how many of these calls I see all the time. Its not funny at all and you need to grow up.

Thanks!!!

This video was put together awesomely.You definately got the message across that drinking and driving is a dangerous act.Great Job with the video, very touching, sad and unfortunately happens way too much.

I commend these people for doing documentaries but we need to show the real thing with famlilies permision I think that would have a more impact.

Is this real?Or is this fake, so it can make us teens, scared of drinking while driving???

@KX250IsMyLife I agree. I am an EMT in southeastern ohio and only have been for a little over 2 weeks. My first run as an EMT was a drunk driver. People always say it won't happen to them, but life is unpredictable and you never know, it might happen to you. This stuff isn't cool. Even though in the video there is fake blood and cuts and bruises and such, we as firefighters and EMTs see the real thing, and it is very scary. Kids just don't realize how easily this could happen to them.
