UPDATE: Repercussions was featured in the 2007 Penn State Film Festival.

Here is a documentary that I directed for my 337 class. For those of you who don't know, on October 28, 2006, Anthony Torsell stuck two pedestrians while under the influence of alcohol. Rick Smith, 21, was killed on impact while Aaron Stidd, 20 was left in critical condition. This film illustrates the consequences of drunk driving by letting you hear from the people most affected by it. (2006)

  • I just read that ...

    I just read that Torsell's lawyer's trying to get the BAC test thrown out of court cause Torsell was "too drunk to consent to it". I'm glad a small documentary was made, it was a real tragedy. Rick and my older brother were best childhood friends, so I've known him since as far back as I can remember. He is and will always be missed.

  • I met with Mr. and ...

    I met with Mr. and Mrs. Stidd and Aaron yesterday to do a story on Aaron's progress for WPSU. I watched him shoot some hoops with his dad and kiss his mom... it was touching but so sad because I could tell that he was trapped. The pictures and icons of friends, family, interests, autographs, letters etc. that sit above his hospital bed are overwhelming, he was robbed of all of that. This video is so well put together, truely should wake some people up.
