“Swiped” Premise
“Swiped” stars Lily James as Wolfe Herd, chronicling her rise from recent graduate to tech trailblazer. Whitney co-founded Tinder before launching Bumble—a dating app that flips the script by letting women make the first move. Her story is about breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry and becoming the youngest self-made female billionaire.
Directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg (“Unplanned”, “Minx”), the film mixes drama and inspiration, with a script by Goldenberg, Bill Parker, and Kim Caramele. The cast also includes Jackson White, Myha’la, Ben Schnetzer, and Dan Stevens.
The trailer highlights Whitney’s resilience, innovation, and empowerment, showing key moments from Tinder to Bumble’s launch. Bumble’s unique features, like time-limited messaging and profile verification, have changed dating culture by promoting female empowerment and safer online experiences.
Buzz is building on social media, with fans excited about this timely story of entrepreneurship and gender equality. The TIFF premiere will give critics their first look, setting the tone for the film’s release.
