Breaking news: Travis Kelce officially produces his first film.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce isn’t just an All-Pro selection, a nine-time Pro-Bowler, and a three-time Super Bowl champion. Now, he can add ‘movie producer’ to his impressive list of accomplishments.
Kelce has been revealed as an executive producer of the new dark comedy drama “My Dead Friend Zoe.” The film features an impressive cast including Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Gloria Reuben.
Although the film premiered over the weekend at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, Kelce unfortunately couldn’t attend to watch it firsthand.
Instead, he was halfway across the world, attending one of girlfriend Taylor Swift’s six dates on her Eras Tour in Singapore.
Cameras captured Travis in a suit, watching his significant other perform, and later, he was seen walking out of the arena with her. They were spotted at a restaurant after the concert ended.

Regarding the film in Austin, Kelce’s executive-produced project is helmed by military veteran and Bronze Star recipient Kyle Hausman-Stokes.

“Travis is a strong supporter of the military and veterans. When this project crossed his desk, it resonated deeply with him for those reasons. His involvement has brought significant attention and energy to the film, ensuring it reaches a wider audience,” said the director, Kyle Hausman-Stokes.
The synopsis for “My Dead Friend Zoe” follows Merit, a U.S. Army Afghanistan veteran, grappling with her family dynamics and the lingering presence of her deceased best friend from the Army, Zoe. As Merit’s estranged grandfather seeks help, the complexities of friendship, family, and grief unfold.
The film is currently seeking distribution and a release date for wider audiences.
