Previously, Schreier directed 2012's Robot and Frank and 2015's Paper Towns, and he's made several music videos for artists like Kanye West, Selena Gomez, Chance the Rapper, Baby Keem, Benny Blanco, Francis and the Lights, Cashmere Cat and more. He's also directed episodes of HBO Max's Minx, FX's The Premise, and Showtime's Kidding.
