GQ editor Logan Hill gave a complete play by play of the events, tweeting:

Cruel Summer is the story of a Lamborghini car thief who falls for a beautiful blind Arabic girl who’s father will let them marry if he can help her see. So he (Kid Cudi) does using strings that lead her around palace to play music.

Kanye West says it’s a work in progress but it’s wildly stylish, huge booming soundtrack, Vanessa beecroft production design. Immersive fun.

Kanye says he had to get script approval in Qatar. He needed 20 camels, 100 extras, and around 20 Lambos.

His female star (Sarah A., an intern at Doha Film Institute, pictured above) is the star of Cruel Summer. 

The film features fashion he designed and pieces by local Arabic designers, shot in 4 days, 3 months start to almost-finish.

Amanda Palmer of Doha Film Inst says Cruel Summer will premiere November 19 as part of festival in Doha.

The @kanyewest Cruel Summer music was all-new (Cudi confirms) and was the best part–big complex production, huge beats.

20 Lambos though? Who knew Yeezy was stunting on the Money Team?

Well, we do know that his girlfriend Kim Kardashian looked stunning … and word on the streets is that Mr. West did it again with Cruel Summer. 

What can’t this guy do?!
