Our sister publication is currently running an interview with legendary music video director Spike Jonze where he opens up about a new short film that he is in the finalized process with for, who else: Kanye West.
The new short, We Were Once A Fairytale was shot over 2 days at a West Hollywood nightclub. “We rehearsed the night before we shot, and talked about trying to get to that raw place, that sad, pathetic, drunken, lost place,” Jonze said. “I told him, the more shameless it is, the more pathetic it is, the better. He just went for it.”
Jonze, currently received both critical and audience praise for his helming of the current top-grossing motion picture “Where The Wild Things Are” knows that not everyone is currently sitting comfortably atop the Kanye West bandwagon. This doesn’t fade the auteur.
“I like Kanye and I care about him. This video is a side of him. I don’t know what the reception is going to be, but I love making stuff with him. I love the guy.”
While no official release date for the short film has been announced, West did place an unfinished copy on his blog, which he then later pulled in favor of keeping the short under wraps until a finalized, more polished project could be unveiled.
