Austin Video Production Company Makes The Right Choice

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 28, 2007 ) Georgetown, TX –– After viewing The Right Choice, two hundred seventy 8th graders at Tippit Middle School clearly understood that it is their responsibility to make the right choices. The Right Choice, produced by Matthew and Company Productions in conjunction with the Georgetown Independent School District’s Georgetown Alternative Program (GAP), deals with the increasing peer pressure surrounding underage drinking. The original concept for The Right Choice was developed by students attending the GAP who recognized the need to communicate the seriousness of underage drinking and driving to 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students. “We felt there was a need for a film that would have a real impact on students considering the consumption of alcohol then driving or getting in the car with someone who has been drinking, a film that was told from the student’s point of view, we are approaching this situation from a totally different perspective. We have been able to present the problem of under age drinking and deliver a solution to that problem.”, said Matthew Trub, President of Matthew and Company Productions. “For years students have been inundated with dramatic visuals and dull statistics on how dangerous it is to drink and drive with no real answer as to how to deal with that choice. The key word is choice and these students need to understand they have the ability to the right choice and not bow to the influence of others. This story was written by students and presents their point of view. Our hope is that this program will open up dialogue between students and teachers most importantly students and their parents.”The twenty minute film was introduced by Doug MacGregor, President of the Austin Wranglers, Glyn Milburn, General Manager of the Austin Wranglers and former NFL player and Dane Krager, Full Back and Linebacker for the Austin Wranglers. They talked to the kids about how important it is for them to make the “right” choices as they are faced with increasing peer pressure and are given more responsibility. With $9,400 in seed money comprised of $4, 400 from a No Child Left Behind Title Four Community Service grant, $3,000 from Wright Distributing Company, Inc, $1,000 from First Texas Bank Georgetown, $500 from Georgetown Healthcare System and $500 from the local Farmers Insurance Agents of Georgetown, Matthew and Company Productions was able to underwrite the remaining $30,600 film project.####About Matthew and CompanyMatthew and Company is a full service production facility and Austin advertising agency.Founded in 1982 by Matthew C.
