Described as a darkly comedic drama, the movie revolves around a U.S. Army veteran grappling with her deceased best friend, whom she cannot seem to release from her past, along with her estranged grandfather, per Time.

With an ensemble cast featuring Hollywood heavyweights like Ed Harris, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Natalie Morales, all of whom share executive producer credits alongside Kelce, the film promises a captivating cinematic experience.

Directed and co-written by Kyle Hausmann-Stokes, My Dead Friend Zoe is slated to make its debut on March 9 at the festival. However, as of now, no distributor has been secured for a wider release.

Kelce, whose high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift has kept the media buzzing, has long hinted at his aspirations in the entertainment industry. Following his memorable appearance on Saturday Night Live last year, Kelce expressed his desire to explore the world of showbiz further.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times just before the Super Bowl, Kelce shared insights into his blossoming Hollywood ventures.

While acknowledging his primary focus on football, he hinted at ongoing discussions within the entertainment industry. When asked about his preferred genre, Kelce enthusiastically declared his love for comedy, stating: "I'm comedy all the way. I just like to have a fun time and make people laugh."

As for the most recent achievements, the Chiefs secured their back-to-back Super Bowl victory with a thrilling 25-22 overtime win, Swift joined Kelce on the field, embracing and showering her boyfriend with kisses in celebration of his historic achievement.

Swift was just one among many stars gracing the Super Bowl event, with luminaries like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, Lana Del Rey, and Justin Bieber adding to the glitz of the occasion.

Kelce, reveling in the glow of victory and the spotlight of his high-profile relationship, expressed his delight in sharing his journey with Swift and her legion of fans.

"It's been fun to gather the Swifties into Chiefs Kingdom and open them up to the football world," Kelce remarked ahead of the Super Bowl.
