Ariana Grande Announces ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ Short Film Screenings in Select Cities

Ariana Grande’s Brighter Days Ahead, a short film accompanying the upcoming deluxe edition of her Eternal Sunshine album, will be showing in four cities on Sunday, March 30.

The film is set for screenings in Boca Raton, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City.

Grande made the announcement via her Instagram Stories a week ahead of the scheduled film screenings, with a newspaper-themed “breaking news” alert published by a fictional paper called The Sunshine Spotlight.

The Sunshine Spotlight cover story linked to a sign-up page to request information about catching a Brighter Days Ahead screening. The sign-up form, hosted on Universal Music Group’s website, gives the direction to “sign up with your contact info below before 9:00 am et on March 26, 2025 to be the FIRST to hear all the details!” and clarifies that the “information request does not guarantee entry.”

On the page is also a movie poster for Brighter Days Ahead, as seen below, crediting it as a film written and directed by Christian Breslauer and Ariana Grande, and as a London Alley and The Lucky Bastards Inc production in association with Grande and Republic Records. Music for the short is from Grande’s new Eternal Sunshine Deluxe. Additional film credits go to costume designer Mimi Cutrell, editor Luis Caraza, production designer Alex Delgado and director of photography Jeff Cronenweth, ASC.

Breslauer previously directed a trio of Grande’s music videos for tracks from the standard Eternal Sunshine album: “Yes, And?,” “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” and “The Boy Is Mine”; Caraza and Delgado also worked on the latter two videos. Cronenweth’s known for his work on films like Fight Club, One Hour Photo, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl and more.

The Eternal Sunshine deluxe album features six new songs: “Intro (End of the World) Extended,” “Twilight Zone,” “Warm,” “Dandelion,” “Past Life” and “Hampstead.” “Intro (End of the World)” (non-extended version) is the opening track of the original release, Grande’s 2024 album that spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Both the Eternal Sunshine deluxe album and the companion film Brighter Days Ahead are expected on March 28.

Two teaser clips for Brighter Days Ahead have been released so far.
