Singer, songwriter and producer Jesse Boykins III met The fifth element by his college roommate, who turned out to be Jonah Hill. Instantly hooked, the film's innovative style became a source of creative inspiration that he returned to throughout his career.
In this episode of The Spark Parade, Boykins talks about Paul Gaultier's costume design, Luc Besson's unique approach to storytelling, and idiosyncratic vision for the sci-fi film. Ultimately, he taught Boykins to be as open as possible with his ideas. “Knowing that if I want to be part of a story or participate in any type of culture, [there’s] There is going to be a moment when I am not entirely happy with what is happening,” he explains. “Then I might as well start there.”
