It won the W.A.V.E. award for Best Spesial Needs Programming and got third place in the Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Awards in 2008 for Television Feature. It was also featured in the Pomona Film Festival - better known as "Smogdance" - in 2009.
Both Gina and Tim have since graduated and are both continuing their careers. Tim is working occasionally as a play-by-play announcer and is trying to break into the voiceover business. Gina's a talented reporter who should be showing up on your TV soon.
So, without further ado, please enjoy Timmy Wheels...
