The Fame: Part One is a 2008 American musical short film directed by Constellation Jones and written by Lady Gaga and M. "Dada" W. The film stars Gaga with her backup dancers Coco and Dina.
It is based on a "true story" featuring the Haus robbing a jewelry vendor, exploring the urban landscape, and facing betrayal and having a reunion. The soundtrack consists of songs from The Fame (2008), including a song that was scrapped from the album, and with additional arrangements by DJ VH1 and Space Cowboy. Narrated by Gaga, the film is dubbed in French with English and Chinese subtitles.
Background[]
“ | This film is a testament to the amazing creative team that travels with me. I am more proud of this work than any other visual art I have created to date. Here is a still image of me with the haus danes in our triumph. As Space Cowboy would say. Cheers. | ” |
—Lady Gaga |
Created by the Haus of Gaga as a guerrilla project in Los Angeles around July of 2008. After the editing was done, Lady Gaga tried to pass the film as a movie to Interscope Records. The label decided to take the video as Lady Gaga's EPK (Electronic Press Kit), and Gaga herself sent the video to influential blogger, Perez Hilton. The film was announced on the Haus of Gaga blog on August 6 and added to YouTube on August 15, 2008.
