Kristen Stewart directs short film for indie rock supergroup

Kristen Stewart has directed a short film for indie rock
supergroup Boygenius, to accompany the group’s recently
released debut studio album, The Record.
The short, straightforwardly titled ‘The Film’, premiered at the launch of event of the album at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Running for 14 minutes, it combines visuals from
interconnected music videos for three songs featured
on the album, namely ‘$20,’ ‘Emily I’m Sorry’ and ‘True Blue’.
Boygenius singer Julien Baker appears in the first section set
around a large house and a junkyard. In the second section,
Phoebe Bridgers stands and sings in a monster truck arena.
Lucy Dacus appears in the final section painting a house blue.
The Film ends, provocatively, with the bandmates snogging in bed.
Kristen Stewart has directed music videos in the past as well as the short films Come Swim and Crickets. She is making her directorial debut with The Chronology of Water, an adaptation of a memoir
by American author Lidia Yuknavitch. -The Hindu
