“The Text” looks at loyalty, friendship, and the challenges faced by gay teens. “The Text” is the final film from Pereira & O’Dell’s “True Friendship” campaign for Coca-Cola. The film tackles friendship and loyalty while addressing the delicate subject of teen homosexuality. The story follows two teen boys – Rafael and Diego – as they trade friendly jabs, play video games and chat about girls in class, at soccer practice and while hanging out after school. The crossroad of the engaging 7-minute film finds Diego reading a surprising text on Rafael’s phone when he leaves the room to grab a few Cokes from the fridge. The message reveals Rafael is gay.
