Conor Oberst announces his directorial debut with Shawn Foree for a new short film titled Invention 13, which features Phoebe Bridgers. The project is produced as a collaborative effort between the two musicians, with Bridgers included as part of the film.
Invention 13 is scheduled to premiere at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles later this month, according to the outlets reporting on the announcement. Stereogum frames the news as the first time Oberst and Foree direct a film, emphasizing their roles as debut directors and highlighting Bridgers’ involvement. Another source similarly focuses on the film’s connection to Bridgers and the fact that it premieres at Beyond Fest, placing more emphasis on the timing of the premiere than the director-debut detail.
