Last week we were very proud to be part of Santa Fe’s production of Shattered Dreams. This program involves the dramatization of an alcohol-related crash on or near a high school campus, complete with police and EMS response, emergency room treatment, family notifications, and the arrest and booking of the driver. Tuesday we filmed the crash scene drama, which was played out before the student body in real time. The next morning a wrap-up assembly was held featuring those who played roles in the previous day’s drama, including the “crash” victims, the drunk driver, their parents, and participating law enforcement and medical personnel.
In addition to the real time events of Tuesday and Wednesday, during the weeks prior we met several times with the students, their parents and sponsors, and filmed the additional scenes for the drama.
The final product is extremely moving and emotionally impactful. We entered a short clip from it in the bi-annual Houston Professional Videographer’s Association competion and was awarded a Distinguished Video award. As soon as we get an OK from the school sponsors we will upload the clip here.
