This Sunday, the tween queen is set to sing Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" at The Standard East Village, promoting her first voice acting role in CADAVER, a short animated film starring Kathy Bates and Christopher Lloyd. We spoke with director Jonah Ansell about his upcoming film, working with Tavi, and his fondness for food and Chicago.
