The Boy With
No Name
HULU ANIMATED SERIES
From 23-year-old creator/genius/George Lucas prodigy, Ajani Amiri Thomas, The Boy With No Name uses authentic pieces of African folklore to inspire its world - everything from character design to movement was rooted in authenticity.
But without credits, an agent, or an LA zip code, Ajani’s brilliance would likely die unceremoniously in an agency mailroom.
I partnered with Ajani to further develop his detailed narrative world, build market-penetrating materials, implement a communication strategy, and prove that brilliance shouldn’t be defined by geography.
