A college student's dream of running a tutoring service turns into a nightmare when his phone's previous owner was offering a very different kind of “private lessons.”  

Written and executive produced by Rhoda Brooks, Apple Pi began as her original idea — we were brought on to bring it to life.

Led by Landon Brooks and an exceptional cast, the film balances humor and realism with heart.

Apple Pi has earned multiple festival nominations and awards, including Best Comedy Film, Best Script, Best Original Score, and Best Leading Actor for Landon Brooks.
