Lone Star Emmy Award Winning: Shattered Dreams Short Film & Live Event

Shattered Dreams is a film about consequences. It was written and directed to be revolved around a live event put together to inform teenagers about the dangers of drunk/distracted driving. Rather than focusing on blood and gore like many shattered dreams videos, we wanted to challenge the viewer to think past the moment to the lifelong effects that our decisions have not only on ourselves, but those closest to us and others we have never met. The film has won several awards including a Lone Star Emmy Award and TATOA Impact Award.
