Director Spike Jonze's short film We Were Once A Fairytale, which stars Kanye West, has been given a release date.

The 15-minutes clip will be available as a download from iTunes on September 8.

West plays himself drunk and disorientated at a club in the movie, which also includes his song 'See You In My Nightmares'.

Following its premiere at the LA Film Festival in June, the Daily Swarm said the film “walks the fine line between self aggrandizement and self mockery”.

The rapper has previously worked with Jonze on the video to his single 'Flashing Lights'.
