Phil Matarese and Mark Luciano - 'Animals' Creators

There are conventional ways to get into the world of animated TV - and then there's how Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano have done it. The two friends started in the advertising business, created a side hustle with a cartoon short, became film festival darlings and then caught the eye of Hollywood.

 

The third season of "Animals", their hit HBO series, debuts Friday August 3rd at 11:30pm ET.
