Madonna made her film directing debut yesterday (14.05.07) - as she started shooting her new mini-movie in London.The pop superstar is making a 30-minute film entitled 'Filth and Wisdom', believed to be a comedy based on the star's own experiences.A source said: "Shooting has just started and it's a chance for Madonna to showcase another of her talents. It's just a short film at the moment but it's expected to be a hit at film festivals." Madonna, 48, hopes filming will wrap by July when she is due back in the recording studio.She said: "I hate to be such a tease, but you know how I am."The mother-of-three - who directed the TV advert for her 'M by Madonna' clothing line with high street chain H+M - held acting auditions for the project last month.Characters reportedly include an Indian chemist owner, a Jewish businessman, and a failed ballet dancer who becomes a pole dancer.
