Frank Ocean's Film Debut Begins in Mexico City

Frank Ocean has commenced filming his directorial debut in Mexico City, with David Jonsson starring in the lead role. The untitled independent film, whose plot details are still under wraps, marks Ocean's first major project since his Coachella 2023 performance was cut short due to a leg injury. Jonsson, known for his roles in 'Alien: Romulus' and the series 'Industry,' has been gaining recognition with nominations like the Rising Star Award at the BAFTAs. Ocean, who has not released a full album since 'Blonde' in 2016, has been relatively low-profile, releasing only sporadic music since 2020. This film venture is a significant step for Ocean, who has previously expressed an interest in cinema. The start of this project highlights Ocean's transition from music to filmmaking and Jonsson's rising career in the industry.
