“I don’t know what the reception is going to be, but I love making stuff with him. I love the guy.”
Spike Jonze has revealed that even Kanye West was so excited for their new short film, We Were Once A Fairytale, that West posted an unfinished, leaked version (that he later removed).
"I think he was like, ‘Oh, it's out. I'll link to it'."
Jonze and West shot Fairytale over two days at West Hollywood club Foxtail. "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."
"I like Kanye and I care about him. This video is a side of him," said Jonze. "I don't know what the reception is going to be, but I love making stuff with him. I love the guy."
