People have spotted her trying almost all fields in entertainment business, from singing to dancing as well as from writing to acting, and now, she is branching into the area her husband, Guy Ritchie, is staying in.

Yes, Madonna is making her foray into film directing through a short film feature apparently based on her own life experience, the pop superstar herself has officially revealed.

"I am happy to confirm I am working hard on a new project, directing my first short movie," she said in a statement. "While I cannot tell you more about it for now, I am happy to officially reveal its title: 'Filth and Wisdom.'"

Said to be running around thirty minutes, the low-budget comedy has begun its production since yesterday, May 14 in London and is expected to wrap up by July when the star is due back in the recording studio.

"...It's a chance for Madonna to showcase another of her talents," a source commented. "It's just a short film at the moment but it 's expected to be a hit at film festivals."
