More From Frank Ocean

Working with robert, robert [elswit] is a storyteller. he's not a cinematographer, he's a storyteller. and to me, that's the graduation i hope to get to in my profession. that i'm not just an actor, i'm a storyteller. and i think that takes a long time in, when you have one job on a movie set. makeup artists, actor, whatever. to graduate from just that to storyteller.

The storyteller is deep inside everyone of us. the story-maker is always with us. let us suppose our world is attacked by war, by the horrors that we all of us easily imagine. let us suppose floods wash through our cities, the seas rise . . . but the storyteller will be there, for it is our imaginations which shape us, keep us, create us - for good and for ill. it is our stories that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. it is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, that represents us at our best, and at our most creative.

There are no words and there is no singing, but the music has a voice. it is an old voice and a deep voice, like the stump of a sweet cigar or a shoe with a hole. it is a voice that has lived and lives, with sorrow and shame, ecstasy and bliss, joy and pain, redemption and damnation. it is a voice with love and without love. i like the voice, and though i can't talk to it, i like the way it talks to me. it says it is all the same, young man. take it and let it be.
Sweet Pain Men
But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.
Christian Spiritual Voice
I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like john ford and fritz lang, tod browning, and also some very modern directors like the coen brothers. the directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. they do whatever they want and they don't care about the genre.
Brother Directors Care
I like working with directors because i'm really opinionated about what things work and may not work, what audiences like and may not like, (not really) but i do have opinions about things. i like to be able to say them and then have them acted on. the director who responds to me like that, always gets my appreciation. i do appreciate it. what i find is the best directors, no matter what kind of name they have, are like that.
