The model makers, makeup specialists and special effects experts at Industrial Light & Magic have a unique talent for sparking imaginations of Star Wars fans worldwide, but not all their projects are for pure entertainment on the big screen. In conjunction with the Petaluma Police Department and local northern California area high schools, members of ILM volunteer their time and expertise to an educational program called "Every 15 Minutes" that shows students the dangerous, and often deadly, effects of driving under the influence.

Petaluma Police Department Officer Matt Thomas organized the event this year at Casa Grande High School with help from various ILM members including senior model maker and R2-D2 droid operator Don Bies, model makers Anna Bies, Danny Wagner, Carol Bauman, Mark Buck, Peter Bailey, and Erik Jensen, lead animator Jamy Wheless, and former ILMer George Sakellariou.
