Lindsay Lohan, in the midst of a difficult personal turmoil involving her parents bitter divorce trial is making a music video to capture her own family’s woes

Lindsay Lohan can act, but can she direct?
The singer/actress is getting behind the camera to direct the video for a song that addresses her family issues—specifically her ongoing drama with her father, Michael. The video is for a still-untitled new song, which she’s thinking about calling either Daughter to Father or Confessions of a Broken Heart, according to her label rep.

An insider says, “It’s the story of a girl crying to her father, asking him why he did all this to the family, and more so, to her. She asks him, ‘If you loved us, why did you do all these things?’”

Tommy Mottola, head of Lohan’s label, Casablanca, said he suggested the pop star, try her hand at directing this time since she has “complete knowledge of the medium” as well as “even a greater understanding of the material.” While he wouldn’t disclose the concept of the video, he called her visual ideas for the clip “absolutely incredible.”

So far, Lohan hasn’t said much about her father’s multiple arrests or her parents’ divorce trial. It’s not yet known where the video will be shot and who’s been cast to play her mother and father.
