What's your Elephant in the Room?
What’s Your Elephant in the Room?
A street-side experiment in truth, taboos and turning up the volume.
Ever tried to ignore a massive, grey, four-legged problem sitting quietly in the corner of the room?
Yeah, us neither.
At Tusko, we’re not really in the business of polite silences. We make films that ask questions, spark conversations, and sometimes make people a bit uncomfortable – in the best way possible. So we hit the streets, camera in hand, to ask a deceptively simple question:
“What’s your elephant in the room?”
The answers came thick and fast. Some were whispered. Others came out like firecrackers.
“It’s domestic abuse – no one talks about it, and it’s everywhere.”
“Mental health. Especially men’s mental health. People still don’t take it seriously.”
“Children’s mental health – it’s getting worse and no one’s paying attention.”
“Palestine. People are being killed, and our leaders are looking the other way.”
From plastic pollution to exam stress, sex trafficking to political division, people showed up with honesty and courage. These weren’t just social issues. They were personal ones. And they reminded us why we do what we do.
Why Tusko?
For those new here, the name ‘Tusko’ isn’t just about sounding bold (although we admit – it does sound bold). It’s inspired by a real elephant: powerful, misunderstood, and a bit chaotic. Our kind of energy. Tusko represents strength, resilience, and a refusal to look away. That’s exactly what drives our work – whether we’re filming in hospitals, schools, deep-tech labs or refugee centres.
We’ve worked with organisations like Bristol City Leap, Science Creates, Resonance, Burges Salmon, NHS, Mental Health UK, WaterAid, and Bristol City Council. From mental health campaigns to innovations that could change the world, we help bring important messages to life on screen.
Because Video Cuts Through
Video doesn’t just show you something – it makes you feel it. It’s human. It sticks. And in a world saturated with noise, a powerful visual story still cuts through. That’s why our clients come to us when they want to make an impact – not just tick a box.
What’s Your Elephant in the Room? isn’t just a film. It’s a reminder that everyone’s carrying something. And that sometimes, the first step to change is simply saying it out loud.
So… what’s yours?
Seriously.
What’s the one thing you think isn’t getting enough attention?
Tell us. Message us. Film it. Shout it. Draw it on a post-it and stick it to your fridge.
Just don’t keep it to yourself.
At Tusko, we believe in turning whispers into roars. Or in this case – trumpets.
