The studio / A very particular point of view
We take
make-believe
seriously.
We believe a world begins with a feeling. A character you can’t stop drawing. A strange little idea that won’t leave you alone.
We’re Samantha Snow and Victor Huckabee. Together, we develop those beginnings into original stories, characters, and imaginative worlds — and find the right collaborators to help them grow.
Meet the studio
Before this universe / Creator history
Small beginnings.
Big things.
Before A Friendly Universe, a character in Victor’s sketchbook became Archibald’s Next Big Thing: a children’s book with collaborators, later adapted into a DreamWorks animated series.
Part of Victor’s creator story. The series is a DreamWorks production, not an AFU production.
