Video on drinking and driving wins two Best Shorts Awards

"Point of No Return," a DVD collaboration between the University of New England's Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition, the Healthy Maine Partnership at the UNE, Video Creations, and the Kennebunk Police Department, has won two prestigious Awards of Merit from the Best Shorts Competition, in the "Short Documentary" and the "Contemporary Issues/Awareness Raising" categories. 

"Point of No Return" addresses the dangers of underage drinking and driving and was created as a community collaboration between students, residents, public safety officials, business owners, and community leaders in the town of Kennebunk, Maine. 

The Best Shorts Competition  recognizes film professionals who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity, and those who produce standout entertainment or contribute to profound social change. Because of its profound impact, the video has been distributed to every high school in Maine, free of charge.

"Point of No Return" won two Telly Awards in June 2012.
