The Pits is a three-minute sweet story about an avocado searching for its other half. Most recently, the film was featured in the NY Times, was selected for over 30 film festivals worldwide, and premiered in the Oscar-qualifying New York International Children's Film Festival and was selected for their Best of Fest world tour.

Today, we would like to remind the public about the fraudulent Chinese consulate calls, texts, or voice messages, trying to get your bank account information, credit card, or social security number and asking you to transfer money. This is a scam. If you receive any of these calls, please just hang up. But if you already transferred your money, please report it to the police immediately.
