Strange Beast signs Studio Gruff for worldwide representation
The award-winning animation duo bring their cinematic surrealism and storytelling flair to the global stage.
Strange Beast has announced the signing of directing duo Studio Gruff for exclusive worldwide representation.
Brothers Rufus and Luke, the creatives behind Studio Gruff, are known for their imaginative, hand-crafted style that combines traditional 2D animation and Claymation with cutting-edge techniques. Their work blends cinematic ambition with dark humour, weaving fantastical narratives that explore identity, society, and the absurd.
Studio Gruff’s client list includes major names such as Channel 4, Universal, Coca-Cola, Sony Music, and Adidas, with projects that consistently push the boundaries of visual storytelling.
“Joining Strange Beast marks an exciting new chapter for us,” said Rufus and Luke. “There’s so much heart and artistry in the work they produce, and it’s clear this is a place where our storytelling, and our strangeness, will be embraced.”
Zoe Muslim, Executive Producer at Strange Beast, added: “We’ve admired Studio Gruff’s distinctive voice and inventive craft for a long time. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the roster and can’t wait to see the imaginative energy they’ll bring to our clients’ briefs.”
With the addition of Studio Gruff, Strange Beast continues to champion visionary talent that balances creativity, technical excellence, and bold storytelling.
