Disney Pride

Client: The Walt Disney Company / Lightfarm Studios
Direction: Gabriel Freire, Nelson Schmidt
Art Direction: Fabio Sanches
My Role: Background Art

For LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in 2022, I was invited by Lightfarm Studios to join the background art team for four short animations for Walt Disney Company Latin America.

The videos aim to celebrate and value individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community and share real stories that, despite their challenges, are happy and filled with love. Mariano Frigerio, Salvador Orduña, Pedro Henrique, and Roberta Prazeres are employees of Walt Disney Company Latin America and also the protagonists of each short film. It was an honor to be part of such an important and sensitive project!
