Ariana Grande Shares New Screenings for Brighter Days Ahead

Ariana Grande is releasing the deluxe version of her latest album, Eternal Sunshine, on March 28.

Ariana Grande announced four screenings for her upcoming short film, Brighter Days Ahead, on March 30. The short film is partnered with the release of Eternal Sunshine: Brighter Days Ahead two days before.

The screenings will be held in Chicago, Los Angeles, Boca Raton, and New York City. The announcement was made on the “Dangerous Woman” singer’s Instagram story. The post featured a breaking news alert in a newspaper-like style published by The Sunshine Spotlight.

The story linked to a form giving fans the opportunity to sign up to receive more information about the screenings. It also included a film poster about the project. Grande recently posted a teaser for the short film on social media, illustrating a gloomier vibe for the project.

Brighter Days Ahead was written and directed by Grande and Christian Breslauer. The two previously worked together on music videos for “we can’t be friends (wait for your love),” “the boy is mine,” and “yes, and?”

The film is a production from London Alley and The Lucky Bastards Inc. in collaboration with Grande and Republic Records. Other professionals credited on the project include Mimi Cutrell for costume design, Jeff Cronenweth for photography, Alex Delgado for production design, and Luis Caraza for editing.

Caraza and Delgado also worked with the Wicked actress on music videos for “we can’t be friends (wait for your love),” and “the boy is mine.” Cronenweth is known for his work on popular movies such as Gone Girl and One Hour Photo.

The music featured in the short film is from the deluxe version of Grande’s album. It adds six new songs to Eternal Sunshine: “intro (end of the world) extended,” “twilight zone,” “warm,” “dandelion,” “past life,” and “hampstead.”

Eternal Sunshine: Brighter Days Ahead is available for pre-order here. The sign-up sheet for the short film screenings can be found here.
