'Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero' had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, though its bow was delayed by a bomb threat.
Blindspotting, and Manuel, who has long worked in non-fiction as a cinematographer, talked toabout not dwelling on the success of the musician’s viral first hit, “Old Town Road,” and their unconventional talking head set-up: “I just felt like it was important for us to be as intimate with him as he is with everyone else, through his performance, through his music, through his social media.
People were introduced to Lil Nas X via “Old Town Road,” but the doc doesn’t dwell on his musical origin story, especially considering how big of a springboard that was. What was the thinking behind that?From the beginning, the concept behind the show and something that I think was important to them to communicate is that his journey has not been linear. He had “Old Town Road” and it was a huge hit, and all of a sudden every person on the planet was listening to the song.
Your “talking head” interview with Lil Nas X was conducted from his bed. What was the thinking behind that?The first thing we said when we were starting to work on this is it can’t really feel like a serious talking head doc. This needs to feel unconventional and it needs to feel daring and weird and funny. It needs to have a good sense of humor, and it just really should feel as unexpected and cheeky as his Twitter feed does.
