He’d written three (as yet unproduced) screenplays before his feature debut about a fetish camboy who agrees to spend the night with an anonymous client, who turns out to be tied to his past. Each time, Del Rey released new music while he was working.

For the climax of “Blue Film,” Tuttle borrows a line from Del Rey’s 2023 track “The Grants.” As the older man reflects on the memories he and the sex worker have made of each other, he says, “I’m gonna take mine of you with me.” (Del Rey dropped “There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard,” which featured “The Grants,” while he wrote “Blue Film.”) “It’s so funny because I really did not ever think that anyone would clock that.

And it’s a little weird, which I always thought ‘Is God Is’ is a few clicks left of center.” Harris continued, “The summer I wrote the bulk of the play, I was listening to ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ on repeat. The video is so dope.

There’s a revenge narrative inside of that video, so the muscle of that is certainly in the spirit of the film.” Whe
