The Text

Pereira & O'Dell, 2 years, 1 month ago

This short film is directed by Oscar-winning screenwriter ("Milk) and LGBT activist, Dustin Lance Black. The film addresses loyalty and friendship while addressing the delicate subject of teen homosexuality. The messaging encourages teens to take a stand against bullying and to choose friendship over cruelty. “I’m proud to have worked with Coca-Cola on their ‘Crossroads’ series of films because at their core each helps demonstrate how choosing the path of compassion at crucial moments paves the way to true friendship and happiness,” said Black. “’The Text’ was perhaps the most personal for me to direct. As an artist, I feel I have a responsibility to share the stories of who LGBT people truly are in order to dispel any atmosphere of fear that might prevent LGBT people from sharing their lives openly.”
