Dickinson Creator Alena Smith On Why Billie Eilish Is Our Modern Emily Dickinson

. I also loved, which is another reference point that I've used to talk about the Dickinson family. They're a crazy group of aristocrats who never leave each other's sides — they're codependent and overly involved with each other. And when you watchand a lot of Wes Anderson's movies, you don't necessarily know what period it's in. So that was something that I was trying to do with Dickinson — build a world where you lose track of the present or the past.

MTV News: You mentioned Wes Anderson being a reference point for the series. When I think of a Wes Anderson film, I think of the vibrancy of the world and the color palette.is also a really vibrant landscape, which is a nice contrast to the themes of Emily's poems. What was the process like to create the visual aesthetics of the show?Myself and all of the designers immersed ourselves in the most specific, accurate details of the period.

MTV News: It goes to show how the bedroom walls of teenage girls really haven't changed all that much throughout history.Exactly! When I went to the Dickinson homestead, I went to the Evergreens, which is the house that Sue and Austin lived in. You go upstairs to the nursery and there are Victorian paper dolls glued to the walls that were from the kids. They put them there in the 1860s. When I saw that, I felt a chill in my body. Because kids do that now.

MTV News: I think if Emily were a teenager in 2019 she would definitely be listening to Billie Eilish, just as I think Billie is probably reading Emily's poems right now.There are a lot of eerie connections between Billie Eilish and Emily Dickinson. I got kind of freaked out when I first heard it. I was like,"Is this Emily?" There's a phrase that's been used to describe Billie's music, and that's"gloom-pop.
