U People Episode #17: “We Ain’t No Cosby Show”

Hanifah and Olive are in Baltimore for a screening of their film U People. While there they visit some old friends Pierre and Jamyla Bennu of exittheapple.com and get lost in Fat Albert lunch boxes, Fisher Price record players, The Wiz and more. We also have a U People story from Reverend Skip!

Below are some of the animation and filmmaking work from Pierre and Jamyla Bennu of Exit The Apple. Look for their cool Oyin Handmade mash up commercials on the U People home page.

LARRY

A beautiful animated tale that will remind you what it is all about.

Kai Ku Mei was their first short film about individuality. A political movement of epic proportions takes place in a third grade classroom. B&W, silent.
