From Canon USA:
YouTube Personality and Actress Gave the Crowd at VidCon 2016 a Sneak Peek At What Makes Her a Rebel With A Cause
MELVILLE, N.Y., June 29, 2016 – Anna Akana and Canon U.S.A., Inc., together announced that Akana will become the latest personality featured in the “Rebel With A Cause” initiative, which celebrates 25 years since the introduction of Canon’s first EOS Rebel SLR camera. Following in the footsteps of American daredevil Nik Wallenda and GRAMMY Award winning record producer Swizz Beatz, Akana, a strong proponent of anti-bullying and suicide prevention, will be featured in a video dedicated to her own unique cause, debuting in September.
“As someone who loves creating comedic content with a message, I’m excited to be partnering with Canon as their next Rebel With A Cause,” said actress and filmmaker Anna Akana. “The cause I’m advocating is one that hits home for me, and I’m very passionate about creating awareness and effecting change however I can.”
In 1990, the iconic “Image is Everything” campaign introduced the Canon EOS Rebel, an SLR camera born with a cause — to put the power of pro photography into the hands of the public and level the playing field forever. Twenty-five years later, Canon launched “Rebel With A Cause,” embarking on a journey to follow modern day rebels who challenge convention in their own unique way, capturing their causes through the eye of a Canon EOS Rebel T6i DSLR camera. “Rebel With A Cause” invites people into their worlds to celebrate the imagery that makes their causes shine and motivate others to join their movements.
“Canon has been a leader in the industry for years and partnering with a content creator is something that just comes as a natural fit for our ‘Rebel With A Cause’ campaign,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Anna embodies the Canon mentality of creating inspiring content and we’re excited to share that passion with someone who is a positive role model for young creators today.”
Canon will conclude the year-long “Rebel With A Cause” program in October with a consumer Rebel, whose cause will be chosen from the recently closed contest searching for the next great inspiration. In addition to a cash prize, the winner will have the opportunity to bring their cause to life with a documentary production, similar to those of the previous Rebels.
