We are proud to board this short and it is an honor to amplify Ary Zara’s important work.” - Elliot Page, Matt Jordan Smith and Tuck Dowrey (PAGEBOY Productions) ”What makes AN AVOCADO PIT so quietly powerful is that it doesn’t need to be love, just understanding, just safety. Just that strange feeling in-between, where you’re able to see someone as they are.” — Talking Shorts "AN AVOCADO PIT is an adeptly creative, fun, thought-provoking, and very essential film that becomes another to speak to our cornerstone notions of what it is to just BE human, show a better inclination to treat one another with respect regardless of who we are or what we believe, and strive to optimistically and with pure intent pursue a better understanding and addressing of our differences." - One Film Fan More information (bio, festival list, etc.): https://ift.tt/2rcN7VG Follow : https://ift.tt/ESKR4Zk https://ift.tt/ycvhgqx Follow Ary Zara : https://ift.tt/ON6fEaQ Inquiries : Travelling Distribution / info@travellingdistribution.com
