"2010 Emmy-Winner" 4 or 40: The Choice is Yours
The San Diego County District Attorney's Youth Advisory Board proudly presents "4 or 40: The Choice is Yours," an Emmy-winning
short film centered on the hard, life choices made daily by teens.
The idea of "4 or 40" was conceived by the San Diego District Attorney's Youth Advisory Board, made up of Lincoln
High students. The title is based on the concept of choosing wisely during four years of high school or risking 40
years of struggles and hardships. The students crafted the film's story, helped during film shoots and offered input
during every step of the film's production. The film was written, videotaped and edited by a local film production
company while graphic designers contributed to its branding. The Youth Advisory Board will be visiting classrooms
and organizations throughout San Diego County to screen the film, talk about its production and speak on its positive
message. The film has been honored with a 2010 National Association of Counties Achievement Award and National Academy
of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy Award.
