This three-time Super Bowl winner is ready to champion Hollywood.

Travis Kelce is a producer for the indie film, “My Dead Friend Zoe,” and he’s doing so with the help of President Joe Biden’s renewable energy tax credits, Variety reported on Tuesday.

The Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, is an executive producer of the dark comedy, which stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman and costs less than $10 million to make.

The war drama, written by Kyle Hausmann-Stokes and A.J. Bermudez, will premiere in March and is based on the former’s short film “Merit x Zoe.”

The project reportedly marks Kelce’s first movie endeavor as well as the industry’s first film to take advantage of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act to fund a film.

According to the US Department of Energy, Biden’s legislation is “the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history, enabling America to tackle the climate crisis, advancing environmental justice, securing America’s position as a world leader in domestic clean energy manufacturing and putting the United States on a pathway to achieving the Biden-Harris Administration’s climate goals, including a net-zero economy by 2050.”

Kelce is backing the film with several other heavy-hitters, including green energy entrepreneurs Mike Field and Ray Maiello.

“Hollywood is risky, right? On a scale of one to 10, Hollywood, it is a 9.5. Especially in terms of independent film,” Maiello, who runs California-based Radiant Media Studios with Field, told Variety. “These federal tax credits take the risk down to like a five.”

Maiello, a former Netflix executive, further explained that Biden’s plan “incentivized” his partners to move forward with the project.

“Biden saw that people can’t plan what their tax liabilities are going to be. People don’t want to take risks. And so he really opened it up with these federal tax credits and we’re combining that with Hollywood. That’s the idea,” the film producer said.

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton claimed that she left her congregation because the church was talking to her about abortion, citing that she decided to leave her church at just 6 years old.

Clinton made remarks at a fundraiser for her mother, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and commented on accusations that her family aren't as religious as they have purported to be.

"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad, or me … that they question our faith," she said, according to Daily Fetched.

The 43-year-old then claimed that it was during her time at Sunday school when she made a heavy ideological choice at the young age of 6.

"I was raised in a Methodist church and I left the Baptist church before my dad did, because I didn’t know why they were talking to me about abortion when I was 6 in Sunday school — that’s a true story," she continued.

Independent voters from around the country had scathing remarks to describe President Biden in a focus group published Tuesday, with most admitting they are leaning toward former President Trump in 2024 despite their own derisive assessments of him.

So the Times spoke at length with 13 undecided, independent voters about the two leading candidates and the issues most important to them. The voters, ranging from 22-64 years old, were most concerned about the state of the economy, with the majority citing the rising costs of groceries and their other bills. Of the 13, 12 said they would base their vote on the issue, with 11 saying they were leaning toward Trump in November.

When asked what they thought about Biden, the voters were blunt as hell in their assessments of the besieged president. Here are several of their responses:

"He’s a little bit senile, and I do think if you can’t do the job, it’s time to step down."

"I think he’s unfit for the presidency. A president should be the commander in chief. And he does not appear to be a capable commander in chief."

"[He's a] puppet. That’s because I feel like he really tap-dances. I don’t know what he’s done. It just seems like he’s just throwing things out there to please almost anyone."

"[He's] disingenuous. Nothing that is said really connects with me. I don’t feel like I’m being told the truth. I don’t feel like I’m being told anything upfront. I was just so disappointed — with the ounce of hope I had left — when we just started pouring money into the Israel conflict."

Here are several responses from the voters when asked how they felt about Trump:

"Donald Trump did a better job. Joe Biden, I mean, I feel like I don’t have a president."

"Sure, [he] was divisive, and sure, it really wasn’t the most productive, but [he] really highlighted problems and the divisiveness that was already hidden inside of our country."

"To me, it doesn’t affect anything. His life, he puts it right out there. I’m sick of hearing it, but it’s him. So if I’m going to vote for him, that’s part of what I accept."
