Then eighteen-year-old Nicolas (Nico) Ballesteros is thrust into the eye of the storm that is Ye, a man building empires in music, fashion, and faith. Coming to terms with Bipolar, his collapsing marriage, vanishing sponsorships, and growing public backlash, Ye’s life unfolds alongside a billion-dollar brand and a persona as polarizing as it is powerful. For six transformative years of 15-hour shoot days, Ballesteros did more than document a cultural icon. What began as a silent observation evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth. Immersed in Ye’s world of extremes, he bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil, but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye’s world. In Whose Name? invites viewers to sit with contradiction, to witness a modern myth in motion, and draw a conclusion. The film reveals a side of Ye the world was never meant to see - raw, unfiltered, and suspended in the complexity of fame, faith, mental health, and power. The result is a story carved from 3,000 hours of raw footage, a collision of turmoil and truth, and an unflinching chronicle of ambition, collapse, and the long road to redemption. Director Nico Ballesteros and Editor Justin Staple join us for an in-depth interview on this powerful and affecting film about a modern day icon.
