North Ogden residents Michael Corbett, Scott Stowers, and Isaac Barker have been working with their company Redcastle Productions on what they refer to as a "Passion Project" to produce a very important movie, One Decision. Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children. On average, every 10 days a child dies from heatstroke in a vehicle. Since 1998, more than 550 children across the United States have died from heatstroke when unattended in a vehicle. Redcastle Productions feels this issue is crucial to address and are working to raise awareness.
"Temperatures inside a car can rise 19 degrees in only 10 minutes. Leaving windows slightly open can have little effect on the inside temperature of a vehicle.
A child’s body heats up three to five times faster than an adult’s body. Children’s internal systems that regulate body temperature are not fully developed, and they absorb heat and generate heat under stress more quickly than adults.
When body temperature reaches 104 degrees, internal organs start to shut down. When it reaches 107 degrees, the person dies. Symptoms can quickly progress from flushed, dry skin and vomiting to seizures, organ failure or death." -ggweather.com
Corbett, Stowers, and Barker expressed appreciation for the volunteers and businesses that made this film possible. Mike Casey of Smith and Edwards offered the store and parking lot for the filming on June 5th. Techna Glass sponsored the replacement of a car window broken for the film. North View Fire District provided an ambulance and EMTs Jeremiah Jones and Jason Gorder took part in the filming. State Police Officer Brandon Noble also participated along with the following main actors and actresses: Pollyanne Napoli, Larry Fillion, and Preston Barker. There were many other volunteers working as actors, actresses, and crew members. Scott Stevens provided the photos accompanying this article.
