As per a recent report, A24 is currently having a discussion with Frank Ocean to direct and write a feature film. It is going to be Ocean’s first-ever feature film. Though, Christopher Edwin Breaux (AKA Frank Ocean) has already worked with them in the past where he wrote the foreword from Moonlight (by Barry Jenkins). Not just that, Ocean has also given the soundtracks for Waves (2019), an American drama film. But directing a full-reel feature film is something the famous singer and rapper is going to do for the first time.
