Who We AreA production company dedicated to telling raw, honest, and unforgettable stories. We believe the most compelling narratives aren’t polished to perfection; they’re rough, messy, and maybe a little dangerous…
Our mission is to find and develop projects that challenge the status quo and explore the complexities of the human experience. We’re not afraid to dive into the uncomfortable, the unconventional, or the “did-they-really-just-do-that?” moments. Our work reflects this philosophy: gruff stories with grit, heart, and just enough bite to leave a scar.
GRUFF GEAR MANIFESTO
At Gruff Studios, there is no separation between the brand and the lens. Proceeds from the supply room are funneled directly into our production pipeline, serving as the primary engine for our upcoming PROJECTS.
Every purchase provides the propellant for our next set of visuals, ensuring that the work remains raw, uncompromising, and entirely our own. COP the gear. Fund the film.
GRUFF GEAR COMING SOON!
*NEW PROJECT COMING IN HOT*
BEWARE OF KOALA KANE
*
BEWARE OF KOALA KANE *
Kuddle Slaughter is a visceral psychological slasher that subverts the genre by exploring the terrifying cost of "perfect" parenting. When Koala Kane—a cannibalistic predator from the Australian Outback—migrates to rural Arkansas, he begins a ritualistic harvest of children from those he deems "poisonous" parents. By metabolizing the sins of the adults and raising PERFECTLY BEHAVED JOEYS. Kane creates a haunting vision of nature gone wrong.
Produced by Gruff Studios, this project combines a high-concept "Ozploitation" hook with the gritty, technical precision of an established production team.
We are seeking partners to help us bring this 90-minute nightmare to life, ensuring that every dollar raised is translated directly into the high-end cinematography, practical gore effects, and atmospheric soundscapes that define our studio’s work.
