Taylor Swift is helming a feature-length film for Searchlight Pictures after creating a 14-minute music video for her song “All Too Well.” According to Variety, the Grammy winner has already completed the project’s script, though its specifics have not been made public.
According to Swift’s Instagram post, “the first seeds of this short film were planted over 10 years ago, and I’ll never forget the behind-the-scenes events of the shoot,” the announcement comes after she released video of herself directing “All Too Well.” “I also want to express my gratitude to the team and outstanding background performers who helped this story come to life in such a natural way. It was just wonderful, and I will never forget it. It’s all too well. Swift appears completely at ease in the video giving advice to Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien, commenting on everything from their on-screen chemistry to camera angles.
The musician from The Midnights has long been a Hollywood fling; she made her acting debut in the 2010 romantic comedy Valentine’s Day. I have no idea [whether I will keep acting], she admitted to the director of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats adaption in an interview for Vogue. I used to get inquiries like, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” when I was younger. Would attempt to respond. As I get older, I’m discovering that wisdom is realising how stupid you are in light of how much knowledge you will eventually have.
Although she appeared in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam earlier this year, directing seemed to be a better fit for the writer. “I believe [writing] is incredibly important, also from the aspect of control over what you do and make,” she said to Vogue. Even if writing isn’t your strongest suit, you should make an effort to put yourself into the letters you send.
