| Angels Among Us – Documotional Film Series
This film series is designed primarily to inform the people of Los Angeles about the amazing and interesting work being done for some of the forgotten segments of our society. Each 24 minute film will be used to raise funds, heighten community awareness and enlist participation from the viewers. To educate, entertain and enlighten is the mission statement of Pumpkin Pictures. Based on the idea that many Los Angelenos have a heart and desire to help in their own community but don’t know where to get started or how to “plug in” this series serves as a vehicle to educate and inspire everyone to deeper involvement and compassion in our own community.

| Hammers, Hearts and Homes – Habitat for Humanity When you think of Habitat you often think of their work in far away places – not in your own backyard. This group of dedicated volunteers has built an entire neighborhood in the northern San Fernando Valley to offer a “hand up not a hand out” to deserving families who were previously living in deplorable conditions right here in Los Angeles.

| Get On The Bus For Mother’s Day Two hundred thousand children in California have one or more parent in prison. Time, distance and finances often keep children separated from their mothers for years at a time.

Hosted by Carol Potter |

| Get On The Bus for Father’s Day Most people have strong opinions about incarcerated men and prisoners in general but few of us stop to think about their children. When parents go to prison, the children “do time” as well. Get On The Bus takes children and their families to men’s prisons throughout California to unite and reconnect as a family on Father’s Day. You’ll never think about prisoners – or their families - in quite the same way. Hosted by Judge Reinhold |
