About Thanks to the Hard Work of the Elephants
A queer love fantasy that follows two teenage boys who escape an abusive youth lockdown center while high on LSD. They steal the center’s van and drive 400 km to a big-box store parking lot, determined to start an alternative youth commune in a nearby suburban forest.
Directed by Bryce Hodgson, Thanks to the Hard Work of the Elephants leans on a strong ensemble — Hunter Dillon, Fred Nguyen Khan, Tony Nappo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
