Taylor Swift has already broken free from her musical bubble. Now, it is Travis Kelce’s turn to make his own break. Swift is preparing to direct her first feature film for Searchlight Pictures, and reportedly, she has already penned the story. While fans are not completely unaware of the pop star’s directorial vision, this project will certainly open new doors of exploration for Swift in the Hollywood industry. However, she is not the only one spreading her wings in the movie business. 

The Chiefs’ tight end is reportedly jumping on board and is ready to try his hand as a film producer. 

Travis Kelce’s first undertaking into the movie business

Travis Kelce is venturing into filmmaking by using President Biden’s renewable energy tax credits, as reported exclusively by Variety. Named, My Dead Friend Zoe, this independent film will be bound for the SXSW festival and welcome Kelce as the executive producer. The surplus tax credits generated by green energy entrepreneur Mike Field, who is also a producer of the film, will be the main source of finance for the movie. 

Starring Natalie Morales, Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman, and Sonequa Martin-Green, the production cost of this indie film will not be more than $10 million. Apart from Kelce and Field, Ray Maiello will also serve as a producer. After wrapping My Dead Friend Zoe, the producing trio would venture into another film, King Pleasure, using the same financing strategy. While Kelce is establishing himself as a legitimate filmmaker, Swift’s decision to position herself as a director is already looking like a successful move. 

The 34-year-old pop star, who has already dabbled in filmmaking through small DIY shoots or as a co-director, might be on the verge of launching a highly successful project. Here is why. 

Why Taylor Swift’s directorial debut in films could be a massive success? 

Taylor Swift has experience as a director. Not only has she directed her award-winning short film, All Too Well, but she has also taken full control of a big-scale music video production as the solo director in ‘The Man.’ In total, she holds eighteen director credits throughout her music career, proving herself to be more than just an amateur attempting to expand her horizons. Additionally, she has a unique style of direction that could hit the right chord with audiences. 

Swift’s directorial vision is full of eccentricities, and she likes to play with a lot of fantastical elements. Her style, which derives its roots from her genre, country music, lays a deep focus on its characters, making the project all the more compelling and people-driven. All these factors, combined with Swift’s tremendous popularity, could mark a strong entry of the singer into the world of filmmaking, despite criticism of her snatching away chances from other creators.
