The film, "Out Of Love," depicts Big Sean and Jhene Aiko as world famous adult film stars struggling with their public relationship.

The project was written and directed by another Detroit native - Lawrence Lamont - who also directed the visuals for Big Sean's "IDFWU," which was nominated for several awards.

"It came about playing around with Sean and Jhene in a session before any of the music was done," said Lamont on the creation of the idea. "I wrote most of the concept in sessions with Sean and Jhene as they recorded Twenty88."

Lamont said that addition of Big Sean's creative director, Mike Carson, was instrumental in creating the futuristic theme of the film.

"That took my imagination to the highest power," said Lamont. "From there, the whole story unfolded in my brain."

Lamont also directed the video for an earlier Big Sean and Jhene Aiko collaboration -- "I Know," from Big Sean's most recent solo album.

Another Detroit native -- producer KeY Wane has producer credits on several tracks, as well. Wane has had a hand in many of Big Sean's projects over the years.
