m ss ng p eces is happy to announce that Tusk has joined our roster. Tusk, the directing duo Kerry Furrh and Olivia Mitchell, is best known for imbuing every project with bold, art-directed exuberance and nuanced character development. Their hilariously insane ad for Liquid Death featured Puritans, pitchforks, and a tallboy of canned water burning at the stake, set to an ’80s pop song. Liquid Death’s “F**k Whoever Started This Shit” was named in Fast Company’s Top 5 Ads of 2023, Adweek’s 20 Best Spots of 2023, and Ad Age’s 40 Best Ads of 2023. In 2024, Tusk was featured as one of Adweek’s Creative 100.  Tusk’s recent short film "Ripe!" premiered at Tribeca Festival where it won Best Narrative Short. A queer coming-of-age story set in Spain, the music, lushly-colored scenes, and grainy film stock uniquely express the feelings of a first, all-consuming crush. "Ripe!" was executive produced by soccer star Kelley O’Hara and won accolades at the Provincetown, SCAD, and Frameline film festivals among many others. The film is currently on the Variety Oscars Prediction list for Best Narrative Short.
