Taylor Swift On Reclaiming Her Music, Using “Secret-Agenty”
Taylor Swift delivered surprise guests and a surprise acoustic performance of
All Too
Well
along with a thoughtful half-hour of conversation about filmmaking with writer-director Mike Mills at the Tribeca Festival.
After a screening of her short film
All Too Well
(set to her elongated version of the
song of the same name on the re-recorded version of the album
Red
released last year),
she and Mills covered a range of topics.
In addition to drilling down on the short, they talked about the challenges for female directors,
the ins and outs of collaboration and the effort to dramatize a couple’s “failure to communicate.
Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien, who play the main couple in
All Too Well
,
were not billed to be part of the afternoon but they were brought onstage for the latter half of the talk.
