HunkyDory shares its name with a David Bowie album, so when we heard the company had signed director duo JEAN (Armand Prisco and Eric Eckelman), our mind went straight to 'The Jean Genie'.
HunkyDory shares its name with a David Bowie album, so when we heard the company had signed director duo JEAN, our mind went straight to 'The Jean Genie'. Once the song was over, it was time to learn more about Armand Prisco and Eric Eckelman, now ready to show the UK what they're made of.

The two men first crossed paths in 2005 when Prisco was hired by MTV. It wasn't long before they stuck into promos, sketches, and other forms of content for the channel, but soon the desire to strike out on their own proved too powerful to resist. As her skills and ambition increased, so did interest from brands such as KFC, Bowflex, and CVT Soft Serve. |

The goal now is to share a laugh (and their expertise) with UK clients at long last: "We've always felt our style of comedy has a strong UK sensibility in that we’re constantly looking for humour in real, human moments without ever pushing into the absurd. In introducing ourselves to the UK market, we wanted to partner with people who shared our appreciation for subtle, elevated comedy. "From our first conversations with John Doris and Ronae Rayson, it was obvious that we'd found our people. Most importantly, though, we had a strict requirement that the work 'hunk' be in the name of the production company that represents us. Fortunately, HunkyDory delivered." Good thing the company changed its name from Mustard, eh? |
