## Summary

Phoebe Bridgers has released “On Video”, a new song written for Primetime, Lance Oppenheim’s psychological crime thriller about television presenter Chris Hansen. The song will play over the end credits, while Bridgers also makes her acting debut as Del Harvey, marking her first major film role and film-composing contribution.

The A24 film is based on a 2007 Esquire article about Hansen’s predator-sting programme and stars Robert Pattinson as Hansen. Bridgers’s song begins with subdued guitars and whispered vocals before building into distorted rock, while the film’s broader score was composed by Ari Balouzian. The cast includes Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Matthew Maher, Bokeem Woodbine and Alex Winter, and Bridgers said working with Oppenheim and the rest of the cast made the intimidating project enjoyable.
