Happy the record eve to all who celebrate. Tomorrow, boygenius — the supergroup of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, for the uninitiated — will release their debut collaborative album, but apparently that's not all: we're also getting a film directed by Kristen Stewart.

the film premieres on YouTube at 12 a.m. ET to coincide with the album release. An actual premiere event will also be held in Los Angeles today, featuring a moderated Q&A.
 

It was previously revealed in the band's Rolling Stone cover story outtakes that KStew would be putting on her directorial hat in service of not one, not two, but three boygenius music videos. Or a film! Same difference! Unless... it's both?

At the beginning of the month, the trio released a self-directed music video for excellent the record cut "Not Strong Enough." But, notably, the three singles — "$20," "Emily I'm Sorry" and "True Blue" — that led the album announcement remain video-less.

See the poster for the film below, where you can also watch it following the premiere time.
