Directed by Wu Tang Clan’s RZA from a screenplay by Nicole Jefferson Asher, “Coco” will be produced by Paul Hall and has already starting filming in the U.S.
“I’m extremely excited and vigorously inspired to be working with Azealia Banks in my new directorial installment,” director Rza continues “producer Paul Hall and I have assembled a cool and eclectic cast to surround Azealia. Our story, which is set in today’s contemporary youth culture, will bring a new voice to cinema that needs to be heard.”
