It is almost October, which marks National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness month in the USA. To bring attention to the issue of drinking and driving among the college age group, Sherry Matthews Advocacy Marketing and Trigger Studios created a animated video for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) that highlights the consequences of a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). The story is illustrated through social media and other digital tools that young adults use every day (see the dislike option at 1:16 :-).
