One if their first episodes tells the story of tech entrepreneur Iddris Sandu, who established the first smart retail store experience alongside the late Nipsey Hustle. This animated short film was made with illustrations and original score by Detroit artist, Vaughn Taormina for Hulu, and has also been featured on Adult Swim.

Each episode of Your Attention Please centers on Black creatives who are pushing their forms and art forward. The first entry into the new series centers on three awesome creators you should already know. In the words of Hulu these artists “give us a glimpse into their personal journeys – in tech, dance, and literature.”
