Pepsi is creating and producing a short film. It will include footage from UrtheCast – a full-color Ultra High-Definition video system located aboard the International Space Station (ISS), feature Pepsi consumers from around the world and leverage the artistic direction of eight-time Grammy award winning entertainer Usher.
As part of this year’s Pepsi Challenge campaign, the interstellar short film combines video, music, technology and storytelling, with Pepsi consumers across the globe playing a role in the experience.
To be released this fall, the short film will be shot from multiple locations and perspectives – both on Earth and in space.
Designed to unite and inspire generations around the world as part of the #PepsiChallenge, Pepsi will invite consumers to participate in this film phenomenon. Filming will take place in more than 10 countries across four continents where thousands of consumers will join together to be filmed by UrtheCast’s proprietary HD video camera.
Usher will invite fans to capture through a single photo an image that they feel inspires and amazes others to look at the world in a new way. Beginning Tuesday through June 2nd, fans around the world can submit one photo each day to PepsiChallenge.com.
Usher will select the most powerful image and invite the talent behind the lens to meet him on set at the upcoming film shoot, with the winning image also featured in the short film.
