The Choice That Changed Everything

The Choice That Changed Everything

15 min

A short documentary exploring the ripple effects of one irreversible moment—the loss of 15-year-old Shae-Lynn McGaw due to not wearing a seatbelt. Created in collaboration with her family and their nonprofit, Shea-Lynn’s Butterfly Effect, the film weaves personal interviews, archival material, and poetic visuals to raise awareness about seatbelt safety. It’s a heartfelt tribute to a life interrupted—and a reminder of how small choices can carry lasting consequences.
