Voice of the Youth

In October of 2023 The DKJ Memorial Foundation was proud to partner with Spy Hop and the cohort of Phase 2 Productions in order to produce various forms of media informing youths about the dangers of drinking and driving. We came into this project with a goal of letting the talented cohort of Phase 2 Productions have creative freedom and asked them how they would reach other kids and teens their age. Orange Soda is one of the star pieces of media this cohort put together and we could not be more proud and delighted by the powerful message this video displays.

I took the liberty of submitting the piece to the Telly Awards, and — drumroll? — it won! Orange Soda earned a silver award as a promotional video produced to advocate for social issues and/or improve civil and social life. Every year across all categories, the Telly Awards receives over 13,000 entries globally.
