and Frank Ocean, knew from the moment he read the script that this was the film he wanted to make. “It was written in a whole new way,” he said. “This is not just a movie. This is saying something about people who don’t always get to see things the way they want to.”

You mentioned that once you saw the script you knew that you needed to make the film. What was it about the script that made you feel that way? I was born in Chicago, but my parents shipped me to Australia when I was three. And I grew up by the beach surfing.

I remember there was a time where I had gone to Compton probably 15 years ago. When The Game was first coming out. I went and shot some photos of him and his friends.

I wanted the music to feel like it was part of the film. I had to separate the score and the music. There’s the score, done by Daniel Heath, an amazing friend of mine who did a beautiful job and then there’s the music. I also use pieces of the score in some of the production of the tracks to help with that cohesiveness. Thesong has the bell of Mr. Christmas and even the Snoh Aalegra track too.
