Cho is what we like to call an overachiever. Devoted family man. Master compositor. Revered Teacher.
If only Cho knew that he didn't need to do all that stuff. He would've been awarded this month's EOM for simply providing us with yummy Korean Cho Snacks™!

Dig, Dug, Done!
We just finished a PSA for 811- Call Before You Dig. This found-object adventure stars a peanut shaped Dig Dug who scurries around in the sand while trying to avoid vegetable monsters. Unfortunately, he forgets to call before he does it, and digs himself a fresh grave. Oh, and eat more vegetables kids!

We've been toiling away in our humble studio, working on a pretty cool commercial for Emerald Nuts. It features a couple squirrels welcoming a French squirrel to their neighborhood be giving him a box of off-brand nuts. Spoiler alert: he doesn't like them.
