Kid Cudi has announced his directorial debut for an upcoming Netflix film, “Teddy” which will be produced by Jeymes Samuel, Jay-Z, James Lassiter, MAD SOLAR and BRON.

In a lengthy caption, Kid Cudi expresses,

“…This is a story I started writing in 2013 because I always wanted to write my own movie, so I said fuck it and started doing it. (MESSAGE!) the road has been long, from it being a tv show for years to finally being a film… “If I could sum up what the movie is about in one sentence, id say this: It’s as if I took the song ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ and wrote a movie about it,” Cudi said. “I added a lot of my own personal struggles and experiences in it, so this film is very close to my heart. I know, that deep down, this movie will help people in the same ways my music has. Im continuing my mission.”
