The film production company Tuffi Films Ltd. was founded in the spring of 2010 by a producer, a director and two screenwriters. It aims at producing films of high artistic quality, both fiction and documentary. The company is based on the principles of openness to different ways of working, “fair-trade” production methods, and sheer love of films.
Why Tuffi?
1. Tuffi was a female circus elephant that became famous in Germany in 1950
when she bolted in a moving suspended monorail wagon in Wuppertal. She
trumpeted wildly, ran through the wagon, broke through a window and fell into a
river. Tuffi survived the 5-meter fall and died as late as 1989. (Wikipedia)
2. Tuffi is the Finnish word for tuff, a type of rock consisting of consolidated
volcanic ash. (Wikipedia)
3. Small sized but giant in courage and tenacity. Feminine version.
”Toulouse Lautrec was totally tuffi in the art world and in his personal life.” (Urban
Dictionary)
