Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
The first teaser of the documentary “In the Name of Who?”, dedicated to the life and career of Kanye West, appeared on YouTube. The film is directed by Nicholas Ballesteros, who has spent six years working 15 hours a day since he was 18. Filming was conducted exclusively on an iPhone, which led to what Kanye West described as "a sense of death and rethinking my life." Ballesteros has accumulated about 3,000 hours of filming, and after editing, the film will be 106 minutes. The director focuses on mental health issues, the impact of fame, religious beliefs, power and controversial moments in Kanye’s public life. Utopia and Goodfellas, which presented the film on the American film market, managed to emphasize an unbiased and objective approach, without voiceover text and imposed interpretations, which will allow viewers to independently comprehend the story. The film will be released on September 19 in partnership with AMC, Regal and Cinemark, thanks to AMSI Entertainment.
