Kanye West – Runaway (Short Film)

MTV Shows

“Runaway” is a cross between an epic music video and a charming indie-house flick. The plot, a simple love story about a man who witnesses a beautiful phoenix (played wonderfully and effectively by model Selita Ebanks) fall to Earth, and then takes her home, only to end up falling head over heels for her, despite the fact that she is half-human, half-bird. On the surface, none of it makes sense, but considering Kanye’s goal to tell a story from the perspective of a five-year-old, “Runaway” is a vision fully realized."- Ye
