Multiple Grammy-award winner Taylor Swift wants to take her filmmaking career a step further after directing ‘All Too Well: The Short Film.’ Taylor Swift has expressed her desire to become a filmmaker, saying, “It would be so fantastic to write and direct a feature.”
‘All Too Well: The Short Film’ is a 13-minute promo for the extended version of her song, starring stars Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.
“I don’t see it being bigger in terms of scale. I loved making a film that was so intimate with a crew that was relatively small, just a really solid group of people that I trusted,” Taylor said.
Speaking to filmmaker Mike Mills, Taylor said, “I was always very curious. I was always looking, learning, and trying to absorb as much as I possibly could. For a few music videos [in my career], I just started going into the edit and making changes. It started with meddling and went from meddling with the edit to writing the treatments for the music videos⦠That was almost ten years ago.”
Taylor made her directorial debut for the music video of ‘The Man,’ but self-doubted her capabilities.
“Once I started directing music videos, I didn’t not want to do it,” she said.
“I think I had this imposter syndrome in my head saying, ‘No, you don’t do that. Other people do that who went to school to [direct],’” explained Swift.
