Collected from a number of sources over the past few days j-s.com summarises what’s currently happening with “Raving” and the motives behind it all…
Reports broke on and around September 11th that Julia had joined forces with Elle magazine to make her directorial debut with the short film "Raving."
On top of directing, Stiles also wrote "Raving," which was inspired by an article in Elle entitled "The Dress (shirt, boots, jacket, jewels...) that changed my Life” from its October “Personal Style” issue.
The film stars Zooey Deschanel as a rebellious young woman who has a chance encounter with a lonely older man.
Stiles hopes the film expresses "how the seemingly simple act of getting dressed shapes one's identity."
Apparently she has also been imagining this story for a while but "never in a million years thought I'd be directing."
Some internet pages have gone on to speculate that Stiles could be the Spielberg(!?!!).
On the busines blurb side of things "Raving" is the first in a series of original fashion based content from Elle magazine, developed for TV, VOD, online and mobile phones.
The film will be available for viewing on Elle.com.
