At the height of Britney Spears's fame, 'Stages: Three Days in Mexico' captured an intimate portrait of the world’s biggest pop star—then it disappeared for over a decade.
So how did this movie get made at the height of Spears’s fame—and how did it get forgotten? Directoran early member of the nonprofit documentary collective Kartemquin Films, had some answers.
A few years later Forni really did convince Spears’s management to green-light the documentary, which he agreed to finance and distribute through his own production company. He came back to Hoffman with a budget and the option to hire who she wanted. Which is how Albert Maysles, the co-director ofwho died in 2015, ended up a cinematographer on the film.
By the time the filmmaker was finally granted access, she realized Spears’s schedule was packed with media engagements that left little time for a one-on-one interview. But it wasn’t just scheduling that prevented her from firing questions at her subject.
Weeks after the whirlwind shoot wrapped, Hoffman did end up getting her sit-down interview with Spears at her brother’s loft on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The moviehad been released earlier that year, and Hoffman wanted to know what kind of roles Spears wanted to play in the future. “She said she was interested in playing a crazy young girl, which is kind of prescient. Someone who has issues,” Hoffman recalls.
