“The Calling” Film Series Tells the Surprising, Emotional Stories of Soldiers Behind the Uniform
“The Calling” is a new animated film series from the U.S. Army designed to profile the deeply emotional and diverse origin stories of five Soldiers as they make the most important decision of their lives: answering the call to serve.
The new series shows that Soldiers are so much more than their tough exteriors as it sets out to close the relatability gap between Gen Z and America’s largest military branch.
• Research shows many youth see the Army as a “distant star,” a place that requires a nearly superhuman level of discipline and excellence and is set apart from daily life.
• Similarly, many youth can’t connect with Soldiers and fail to see any commonalities in terms of interests, abilities, and goals.
• At a time of a widening military-civilian divide, “The Calling” makes the Army more accessible by bringing audiences into the lives and motivations of the people inside it: Soldiers.
The animated anthology is a distinct departure from previous Army campaigns – both for its arresting visual approach and its intimate portrayal of the people behind the uniform. By acknowledging that Soldiers are real people with their own hopes, dreams, fears, aspirations, families, friends, and obstacles to overcome, “The Calling” turns what was once a one-dimensional view of Army Soldiers into something relatable and more human. Rooted in the premise that you can’t truly know someone until you understand where they came from, the campaign shows that you don’t have to be born a warrior to eventually become one. Anyone can hear the calling.
Animation was a clear creative choice for “The Calling” because of its visual interest, narrative flexibility, and Gen Z appeal thanks to the popularity of events like Comicon and animated dances and videos. Animation also provided the opportunity to give each Soldier’s story a unique style and tone that underscored just how diverse each story is from the next. Through the expressive power of animation, the campaign conveys more than just events. It conveys emotion.

When I was in New York on broadway, playing Lady Blues in Harvey Fierstein’s Tony Award Winning play Torch Song Trilogy, I wrote this song with Hara Taicher and then recorded it, to be Broadway’s answer to ending world hunger. Currently residing in Los Angeles, I am proud to be a part of the Temple Beth Hillel Community in Valley Village, California, that helps to supply the North Hollywood Interfaith Food Pantry, a coalition of synagogues and churches, providing about 5,000 meals per month to the needy. “October 16, was World Food Day and it is a special day observed by all United Nations member nations. The day is intended to bring public attention to the issue of world hunger and food security. The world produces more than enough food to meet these needs, but poverty, lack of infrastructure, and corruption prevent that food from being distributed to those in need. If you can’t feed 100 people, just feed one! Join Pope Francis’ Week of Action to end world hunger. Almost all of those suffering from malnutrition and hunger are in developing countries. A majority of those victims tend to be children. Somewhere between 10,000 to 20,000 children die each day from hunger.” By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) We can make a difference.
