XYZ, an indie studio, has made its name for its cinematic storytelling. For this reason, the Miley Cyrus team approached them for her upcoming album, Something Beautiful.
This is what the co-founder of the company, Nate Bolotin, told Variety, explaining the Grammy winner already had ideas in her mind to make album — a cinematic experience — similar to what they produced in 2018’s horror film Mandy.
“It started to take shape and that was the fusion that led to what the project ended up becoming,” he said.
“All from her mind. She’s the one who certainly spearheaded what the project would ultimately become, and we were there to help bring it to life.”
Nate further said, “The vision to us was pretty clear. She definitely wanted it to be cinematic — not in the term ‘cinematic,’ like cinematic-looking.”
He continued, “But she wanted it to exist as its own thing, as something that wouldn’t be described as a music video or something that is just a companion piece to an album that would stand on its own.”
Miley’s Something Beautiful will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6
