subverted the music video’s omnipresent male gaze by making Donald Glover pine wistfully for the soulful artist.actually took place a couple of years ago, before I did many of the music videos that I directed,” she explains about her move from behind the camera to in front of it. “So they have kind of been happening simultaneously, but they haven’t been released in that order.”
Evans took an immersive approach to playing Chantal. Having grown up in the big city of Toronto, she had little in the way of lived experience to relate to Chantal’s small-town frustrations. To bring more realism to her character, she decided to stay in the town that they were shooting the film in. “I wanted to understand what it would be like to live in a small town and feel trapped in that small town, and what would these girls would turn to when they were bored.
Lou also faces opposition for being tough and knowing what she wants. She gets close with a guy in his truck, but he seems to get turned off by the cut on her lip that she got from a fistfight with another girl. She seems bemused and tries to placate him by saying, “I’m not trying to date you, I’m trying to fuck you.” He kicks her out and leaves her in the dark on the side of the road.
