Directed by The-Artery’s Uri Schutzer, this SodaStream International brand film, entitled Rainbow Story, visualizes key moments from the life of Emmy-nominated actress and LGTBQ+ activist Laverne Cox through both live-action content and classic 2D animation. The narrative follows Cox from her childhood to the accomplished woman she is today. The animated compositions, which were led by The-Artery’s Yonatan Tal, include Cox transforming into a flying superhero, colorful parades, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling protecting LGBTQ+ employees against discrimination, and much more.
In celebration of Pride Month, the brand is launching a limited-edition sparkling water maker kit, also named “The Rainbow Story,” empowering the community to share their personal pride stories. A portion of proceeds will be donated to global NGO ILGA World.
