Acclaimed trio boygenius (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus) have released a short film directed by Kristen Stewart via Black Dog Films. the film is set to the first three singles taken from their highly anticipated debut album the record, "$20," "Emily I'm Sorry," and "True Blue" which is out now via Interscope.
Yesterday, the film made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and across MTV's global network of channels, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards. The band made an appearance for an official screening and Q&A earlier this evening at Los Angeles' El Rey Theatre.
The film was directed by Academy Award-nominated actor/director Kristen Stewart and guides the viewer through three vignettes that highlight the band's close and intimate bond.
boygenius announced their long awaited debut album, the record, in January and made global headlines with their Nirvana-nodding cover of February's Rolling Stone magazine. boygenius will perform at this year's Coachella Music Festival on Saturday, April 15th and Saturday, April 22nd in addition to headlining the inaugural Re:Set Concert Series with stops in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and more.
The band also recently announced an additional summer North American tour with support from Carly Rae Jepsen, Broken Social Scene, Bartees Strange, Claud and Illuminati Hotties.
