Dramatic scene videotaped in SVH ICU

Sonoma Valley High School student Doris Martinez lay in a "coma" last Saturday in Sonoma Valley Hospital's Intensive Care Unit, while classmate Jenna Wirick directed (left to right) video instructor Peter Hansen, SVH nurse Sam Chelsey and SVH hospitalist Dr. Mark Berenson in a crucial scene for her video class film. Classmate Maddy Parisi (not in photo) plays the part of a grieving best friend. She and her crew are looking forward to seeing the story on the big screen in the Sebastiani Theater in the film festival.

A team with Luke Lasley, director, and actors John Witbroadt and Rebecca Stone shot a brief scene afterward.

Hansen said the students are "ignited" with the excitement of their productions, and expressed his appreciation to the hospital saying, "This Hospital scene elevates their movies significantly and motivates them to a higher standard."
