Pine Tree High School’s CTE Audio/Video students Douglas Palmer, Channing Johnson and Kaitlynn Minor recently had an incredible opportunity to work alongside industry professionals as Alan Weiss Productions came to PTHS to recreate their award-winning video from the Mothers Against Drunk Driving Texas Power of You(th) Teen Video Contest.
Our students got the chance to see what professional video production looks like up close from filming to storytelling and be part of the process as their original work was recreated on a national level.
In addition to recreating the video, the production team also filmed “man on the street” interviews for Teen Kids News, a nationally distributed student news program, and captured behind-the-scenes footage showcasing the work our students are doing in Pine Tree’s Audio/Video program.
Douglas , Channing and Kaitlynn won second place it the The Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) Texas 2025 Power of You(th) Teen Video Contest, is a statewide competition designed to engage high school students in raising awareness about the dangers of underage alcohol and cannabis use. They were presented a $500 check.
