Earlier this month, Noisey was proud to present the Dum Dum Girls’ critically acclaimed video for their single “Are You Okay?” in conjunction with Sub Pop, VICE, and MOCAtv. The video wasn’t so much a pop promo as it was an unsettling and darkly cinematic short film written by Bret Easton Ellis. In the latest episode of Noisey Meets, we sit down with the artist to talk about what attracted him to the project and why he took an “illogical” approach.
