Kanye West’s debut film, “Runaway,” will premiere on MTV and BET on October 23rd. The film is 40 minutes long and has been termed as “ambitious” and “great looking” by those who have viewed the film. Following the premiere, West will do a Q&A session from MTV’s Times Square location. Here is what Kanye said about the concept of the film, “It’s the story of a phoenix fallen to Earth, and I make her my girlfriend, and people discriminate against her and eventually she has to burn herself alive and go back to her world,” he told New York magazine. “I’ve been feeling the idea of the phoenix. It’s been in my heart for a while. It’s maybe parallel to my career. I threw a Molotov cocktail on my career last year, in a way, and I had to come back as a better person.”
