PRIME VIDEO ‘AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP’
A CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN BY CHRIS BALMOND | MAKING-OF BY MARIO SANZ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Meet Carl & Hattie. A misfit hyena who, unlike her peers, can’t laugh and a lonely zookeeper with zero social skills who finds it difficult to see reasons to smile. The two become friends thanks to their love of entertainment. An unlikely friendship to remind us all that every smile tells a story.
