After its screening at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival in June, Swift said: “I think I gave myself permission to completely make that jump into making a narrative short film because this is not a music video. We approached everything differently.

“You know, in shooting on 35 millimeter and all the decisions that were made to create these characters and dive into this world.”
