Multi-hyphenate creator Issa Rae continues to push the boundaries of storytelling with the release of the official trailer for Picture This, an innovative new digital series debuting March 24 on YouTube under her Hoorae Media imprint.
Blending creativity, comedy, and candid conversation, Picture This is an interview-style game show hosted by the dynamic Jonica Booth.
The series invites guests into Booth’s writers’ room for a one-of-a-kind experience where personal storytelling meets spontaneous creation. Each episode challenges participants to build an original show pitch inspired by real moments from their lives—uncovering stories audiences have likely never heard before.
But there’s a twist.
Every idea must be illustrated.
As guests respond to prompts ranging from character development to unexpected plot twists, their stories are brought to life through sketches that evolve in real time. The creative process takes another turn when a surprise genre is revealed mid-pitch, forcing guests to adapt and reimagine their concepts on the fly.
Once the pitch is complete, the pressure is on.
Booth delivers the final verdict: greenlight… or pass.
And for those who earn the coveted greenlight? Their concept could make its way to Issa Rae herself—opening the door for even bigger possibilities.
With its unique format and emphasis on raw, imaginative storytelling, Picture This offers a fresh take on the creative process while spotlighting voices and perspectives in an engaging, unpredictable way.
The official trailer is now streaming on YouTube, giving audiences a first look at the laughter, vulnerability, and artistic chaos that define the series.
Picture This premieres March 24 on YouTube.
