\n\tThe short\u2019s directors, David Toro and Solomon Chase (who are jointly billed as TORSO), appeared on the Beacon stage to offer a few takes on the shoot, which took 6 months in total, including a month of production. But the main event was Madonna communing with the nearly 3,000 fans at the premiere, most of whom have followed her for decades. Shouts rang out at regular intervals, sometimes interrupting her mid-flow. \u201cWe love you!\u201d one fan called out. \u201cYou were always here for us!\u201d another followed.<\/p>\n
\n\tCelebrity cameos abound in the short film, including one by Sabrina Carpenter, who appears on the new album and performed with Madonna at Coachella. Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia Garner and Debi Mazar are among the many other recognizable faces. \u201cThere are a lot of Easter eggs,\u201d Madonna said.<\/p>\n
\n\tOne particularly egg-rich scene featured Mazar in a track titled \u201cDanceteria,\u201d after the famed New York City nightclub. Long before becoming an actress, Mazar used to operate the elevator in the multi-level venue, Madonna recalled. Cocaine and decadence defined the era, but while Madonna made an offhand quip about doing a \u201cline of coke,\u201d she later affirmed she has \u201cmade it this long because I don\u2019t drink and I don\u2019t smoke \u2026 I need to be here to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tCooper asked Madonna about her surprise 15-minute mini-set in Times Square on Thursday night, a promotion both for the album release and the kickoff of Pride Month. (Gay fans have \u201cbeen there for me since Day 1,\u201d she declared.) Sneaking out of her Michigan house as an underaged teen to go dancing got her grounded for the whole summer, she remembered, \u201cbut it was worth it\u201d for what she discovered there. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI felt free,\u201d she recalled, adding a shoutout to her dance teacher at the time, who was an out gay man at a time when that was uncommon. (One track on the album is titled \u201cI Feel So Free.\u201d)<\/p>\n
\n\tMadonna said she \u201cgot emotional\u201d during the Times Square show, which drew 50,000 fans. \u201cIt was a full-circle moment for me,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I first got to New York, I got in a taxi and asked the driver to take me to the center of everything, so he dropped me in Times Square \u2013 which is really not a very nice thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile the Beacon event had all the trappings of a concert, save the musical equipment, Madonna took note of the fact that she was at a film premiere. \u201cFilm has inspired a good part of my life,\u201d she said. Videos, by comparison, \u201cseem a bit cheap. \u2026 I liked it when it was just MTV and me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tCooper replied, adjusting the order of prominence, \u201cI thought it was more like you and MTV.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
