So I feel like once a video is made, the whole vision has been completed. I love creating the music videos because every time I write a song I really have a visual in my mind when I'm writing it. You're doing some touring - is performing your favorite part about being a musician or do you gravitate more toward the songwriting, production side? Stefanie probably can't say the same (laughs).Д«ack to music. I really loved working with the director, Leigh Whannell. I play Stefanie Scott's friend, Maggie, who is really more of the support system and the 'normal' one, not going through the craziness. What went into your preparation for this role? It's such an experience - horror films - when you're in a theater with other people. It was fun to actually sit in the theater and listen to everyone's reactions and all the screaming.

It was a great experience! It's still just as scary watching it after shooting it. 'Insidious 3' was your first horror film - what was it like filming it? I grew up listening to Blondie, Alanis Morissette, and TheД¬ranberries. It was fun!Д®mily Haines from Metric is a huge music idol of mine. It was a huge passion project and I'm just thrilled with how it came out. We did this video with a very limited budget. We put together the treatment and put together a great cast and crew. You tend to end up producing and directing everything so it was kind of nice to step into that directorial seat. Yes! I've always been very hands on with my projects as a musician and as an indie artist. You directed the music video - was this your first directing endeavor? We definitely wanted to keep that element. We wanted to keep it real and sometimes life is a little shocking and intense. You don't really notice the lyrics being that cocky and confident and it's nice the way it all blends. There's that nice juxtaposition of when you're watching the video, you're seeing her react differently than what she's actually feeling. For the video, I kind of wanted to show that inner-monologue for the character of what she's really thinking, not actually what she's doing. That was kind of the notion of how the song came about and the lyrics in the song are actually quite confident. We were just talking about how there are so many songs where guys are stealing another guy's girl and there's not really a song where the girl does the same - a girl empowerment type song. Yeah, I wrote it with Owen Thomas and Lily-May Young.

Can you tell us what inspired you to write 'GIRLS LIKE GIRLS'? Your EP 'This Side of Paradise' is so great and we're really excited to premiere this video. She's starred in 'The Vampire Diaries,' 'Insidious 3,' and Universal's upcoming feature 'Jem and the Holograms,' in addition to releasing an EP, which features the electro-pop title track ' This Side of Paradise' and her new single 'GIRLS LIKE GIRLS,' which she's currently promoting.ДЄOL.com premiered the beautifully cinematic music video for her new single, ' GIRLS LIKE GIRLS' last week (which you can also watch above!), and this week we got the chance to sit down with the rising star.ДЄOL.com sat down with the rising star to chat about her music video, musical influences and her roles on the big screen.
