The 11-time Grammy winner's short film, shot on 35mm film, which she wrote and directed, was based on a longer, 10-minute version of her song, "All Too Well." The song is from Red (Taylor's Version) track, which came out in November.

The original version of Red, released in 2012, had a five-minute version of "All Too Well."

The film stars Dylan O'Brien (The Maze Runner, Teen Wolf), and Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), along with Swift.

"We're SO excited," organizers tweeted Monday, with a link to Billboard report on the announcement.
