Taylor Swift was talking at her Tribeca Film Festival debut, on her directed short film ‘All Too Well’ with lead characters Dylan O’Brien and Sadie Sink, she fancies herself a filmmaker and which is why she’s at Tribeca. The pop star touched down in NYC Saturday to a lot of fanfare, where she was scheduled for an event amid the film festival in which she’d discuss her 10-minute visual offering of her directed short film.
The pop star wrote, directed and starred in the film (not to mention writing/performing the song), and Tribeca honchos apparently invited her to discuss it at length during her own window. When she pulled up the entrance, a sea of fans were screaming out and trying to snap photos. It might as well have been a Taylor Swift concert.
Tailor, got serious and started talking vision, direction and execution of her film, got into the weeds about what different scenes meant, and how she decided to shoot them and how she chose to end the story the way she did, using very film-y terms like “pan,” “steady cam” and “protagonist.”
At one point, Dylan started breaking down the themes he intuited, to which Taylor totally agreed, and in the end, musical performance, she tore it up on the guitar as Taylor knows what the people really want to see from her.
Taylor, as she explores a new creative side to herself, something tells us, we will be seeing a lot more movie magic from her in the future. She’s already been cast in a star-studded movie that’s in production.
