We are soda.film - a film production company and social entrepreneurs from Berlin, Germany. While you learn about us you will encounter various interesting topics: <a href=\"#pt_social\">Social Business<\/a>, <a href=\"#pt_bridges\">Transmedia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sodafilm.de\/crowdfunding\">Crowdfundig<\/a>, <a href=\"#pt_internet\">Internet Videos<\/a>, our famous <a href=\"#pt_stages\">'Stages Structure'<\/a> - and at the end of this page you will know<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our definition of <a href=\"#pt_social\">#social<\/a> <a href=\"#pt_bridges\">#transmedia<\/a> <a href=\"#pt_stages\">#storytelling<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soda<\/strong> -<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>basically a fusion of water and air, in a metaphorical sense the liaison of the (seeming) opposites emotion and reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soda is brisk, soda is refreshing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an important ingredient of both, soda makes glass transparent and ensures the hazard-free handling of highly explosive dynamite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video version of this text - our showreel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio is-style-frame\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"soda.reel 2011\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/19038306?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Manifesto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s our goal to make courageous philosophical and moving emotional films that attract a relatively wide audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to dynamite some of the outdated standards of cinematics in a safe way and not at any cost. We want to widen horizons, not break the mold. We want to question routines and tradition, but not reinvent the wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BOTTOM LINE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transparence and hazard-free handling of explosive topics is what we aim for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We FILM the (social) change<br>we want to see in the world! \ud83d\ude42<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We from <strong>soda.film<\/strong> make films about people, social issues or realize projects with social impact. As 'Social Enterprise' we don't focus on monetary profit (but are allowed to make some).<br>We want to act responsibly and make our contribution to the society. We don't want to get rich but <a href=\"https:\/\/sodafilm.de\/films\/life-unleashed\/\">ENRICH LIFE<\/a>! So we decided to produce social projects only and to put all potential profits back into new social projects. OR support others (companies, NGOs, projects...) on their social mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-frame\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\/soda-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/test-123.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"65\" src=\"https:\/\/\/soda-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/test-123.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65\" srcset=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/test-123.jpg 640w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/test-123-384x216.jpg 384w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/test-123-256x144.jpg 256w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/test-123-512x288.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, (max-width: 924px) 45vw, 26.5625rem\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text systemfont grey\"> <span class=\"image-license small grey\">[\u00a9]<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-frame\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\/soda-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"31\" src=\"https:\/\/\/soda-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31\" srcset=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none-1024x576.jpg 1024w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none-1536x864.jpg 1536w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none-384x216.jpg 384w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none-768x432.jpg 768w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none-256x144.jpg 256w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none-512x288.jpg 512w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/Claudia-Pikey-2.waifu2x-2x_none.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 924px) 100vw, 54.6875rem\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text systemfont grey\"> <span class=\"image-license small grey\">[\u00a9]<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-frame\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\/soda-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/beautiful-but-dead-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"68\" src=\"https:\/\/\/soda-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/beautiful-but-dead-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68\" srcset=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/beautiful-but-dead-1.jpg 640w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/beautiful-but-dead-1-384x216.jpg 384w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/beautiful-but-dead-1-256x144.jpg 256w, \/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/beautiful-but-dead-1-512x288.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, (max-width: 924px) 45vw, 26.5625rem\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text systemfont grey\"> <span class=\"image-license small grey\">[\u00a9]<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We are convinced that Social Entrepreneurship is a very reasonable solution for many common social issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we don't want to just tell about or report on social issues - we actually want to realize projects with real impact on social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social Entrepreneurship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Fundamentally a merge of two (seemingly irreconcilable) concepts - socially responsible action and entrepreneurship.
