What a great idea! As a mom, it drives me crazy how schools have soda machines and get cash from junk food companies to pay for their football fields in exchange for marketing to kids. A group of teenagers are fighting back with their project 'Get Outta My Face'.

Get Outta My Face is an independent film project built on stories of real kids making a difference in today's "fat culture." They have discovered ways to use their talent and energy to add more fitness, more activity, informed choices about food, beverages and lifestyle. We celebrate the talent of today's young people to harness the power of digital media, the Internet, and technology to share their ideas and passion while building a system of social-networking.

Make a movie, enter the contest, help the cause. You can be a part of it.
