Kanye West: Runaway (Music Video)

"Runaway" is a 35-minute long film, directed by Kanye West. It was filmed in Prague over the period of four days in the summer of 2010. West describes the video as an "overall representation of what [he dreams]" and a parallel to his music career. Speaking to MTV News, West said he wanted women in his life, including his mother and ex-girlfriends, represented in the video, and for them to "connect with the different emotions". According to model Selita Ebanks, who co-stars in the video, the moral is, "the world doesn't accept, or they try to change, what is different, instead of trying to understand it." The teaser trailer for the film debuted during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and the full video was screened in Paris on October 5 and at the BAFTA on October 6. The video debuted on October 23, 2010 on MTV, BET, and VH1.
