Location scouting for performance:

We decided to shoot our performance scenes in Merl in the old slaughterhouse. Since it is no longer a slaughterhouse and now is used for people to be able to spray-paint whatever they want it gave us the space we needed to that we could spray-paint BRUTAL onto a wall legally to show the title of the music video. The walls being covered in spray-paint also gave the performance segment of the video an even edgier look which was crucial as this is the part of the video where OLIVIA is meant to look me most emo/edgy.
