About
At Snarky Elephant Productions, we’ve embedded the idea of shifting established standards and changing company cultures into our DNA. Snarky Elephant focuses exclusively on producing content about and by underrepresented groups, especially groups with the least amount of representation in film. We are dedicated to providing equal pay and equal representation among crew and employees.
IT's TIme for a change
We produce emotionally rich visual content that explores the under-represented human experience. Through scripted and unscripted content, we champion emerging creators whose identities inspire them to defy societal barriers and shift established standards. Our intention is to change company cultures, the entertainment industry, and larger global sensitivities with darkly amusing, inventive stories that chronicle the complexities of human spirit.
Above all, we are creators. We make visual content that is adventurous, funny, real, unique, beautiful, powerful, and seismic. We believe in creating work that captures the under-represented human experience and explores perspectives rarely seen in the film industry.
Our Vision
We believe in doing more for under-represented groups. We know how hard it can be to feel seen and heard by an industry that doesn't understand you. For this reason, we make visual content that truly explores new identities and perspectives. We also create workshops that seek out emerging creators to help them write and pitch in the industry.
