Beyonce & Jay Z ‘Bang Bang’ Film Pt. 1

Bang Bang!

Although their tour has come to a close, Bey and Jay are still on the run. Behold the first installment of their short-film, Bang Bang, directed by Dikayl Rimmasch. Synopsis below:

Two American outlaws speed through the Californian desert in a dusty 1960s Pontiac GTO with a manifest poise and stylish swagger that could only be embodied by the world’s foremost musical couple: Beyoncé and Jay Z. Directed by the New York-based filmmaker and photographer Dikayl Rimmasch, Bang Bang is a trilogy of short films starring Mr. and Mrs. Carter’s filmic alter egos, appearing throughout their two-and-a-half month long tour, On the Run, which celebrated its finale on Saturday at Stade de France in Paris. Rimmasch was introduced to Beyoncé and Jay Z via Mark Romanek, and with a creative cohort in the war photojournalist William Kaner put together a film making approach and aesthetic inspired by French new wave cinema and the powerful intimacy of legendary independent director and mentor, Les Blank. Rimmasch’s stripped-back process paid dividends, allowing an incredibly fast, shoot-from-the-hip style using custom camera rigs that he had designed, 50-year-old Russian lenses and lighting effects by Archie Ciotti and Scott Spencer.

    1. des martino says:

      lolol i forgot about that whole carmen thing lol

      1. Dan Karlin says:

        I envision it as a prequel that tells the story of what made Carmen go bad, and follows Mekhi Pfeiffer and Mos Def’s days at the police academy. Da Brat will reprise her role as the rapping narrator, of course.

        There, MTV. Run with it. I expect a “story by” credit.
