WHO WE ARE
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.
Within our company and its productions, we’re proud to say that over 75% of the cast and crew identified as a woman, person of color, and/or a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Our leadership, right down to our production assistants, is atypical and non-conforming. Perhaps most notably, our founders embody the underrepresented identities they are uplifting.
Advisory Boards
The Snarky Elephant Advisory Boards are made up of top creatives, film executives, producers, directors, and others in the entertainment industry. Each board is designed to provide guidance for the creative and executive sides of film development. Our boards hold Snarky Elephant Productions to its goals to ensure fair and accurate representation on-screen and off-screen, create quality film narratives, and provide support systems for underrepresented individuals in the film industry.
