Director of the movie A.V Rockwell reveals that despite Taylor’s familiarity with cameras and acting in general, it was her authenticity that won her over and put her in the spot for the lead role, which is her first one yet. She admitted in an interview her uncertainty about casting the “semi-retired r&b singer” but was ultimately wowed by what she had to offer.
The movie which was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on the 22nd of January 2023 took home the Grand Jury Prize and is slated to be released on the 31st of March 2023.
