Excited to show a few films produced with Toyota now premiering on NYTimes.com

Excitement. Fear. Loss of control. Pride. Every parent of a teenager can relate to the roller coaster of emotions that occurs when their child receives a driver’s license. For a new series of documentary short films,@toyotausa partnered with @gettyreportage to tell the stories of teenagers grappling with this rite of passage. 

In Los Angeles, @benlowy and @shaulschwarz followed the Vaught family’s story, exploring the ways in which teenage daughter Chloe’s new license helps her parents begin to view her as an adult. Visit TeenDrive365.com to see the other films.

I imagine it was probably very distracting to drive around with a bunch of kids just rolling around in the back of your car like we did when we were kids. 7 more days to vote for Cal's video "The Distraction Game" and if you had trouble voting this week - there was a bug which didn't allow you to vote so they said you all could email TeenDrive365@discovery.com and just put "I vote for Cal" in the subject line and they would count your vote. So send that email - lets flood their inbox today! Thank you all so much for your support today - and every day.

Project I’ve been working on “TeenDrive365 Video Challenge: Happy Endings” I usually do photography stuff, but this was a great first step into filming and makes me want to do more! I so enjoyed making this and trying to come up with a way to make people drive safer. The kids were so willing to answer my questions and were super excited to share what they want for their future. Help them get to that future! Let’s try to get this message to as many people as possible!
