Kid Cudi To Direct And Star In ‘Doe’ Alongside Brandon Scott, Leah McNamara, Mark Webber, And Brandon Perea
Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi) is set to make his feature directorial debut with the upcoming drama ‘Doe’, in which he also stars as the title character alongside Brandon Scott, Leah McNamara, Mark Webber, and Brandon Perea.
The film follows an unhoused man navigating life on the streets of Hollywood, grappling with addiction and survival as a series of encounters pulls him deeper into cycles of compulsion over the course of 24 hours.
‘Doe’ is written and directed by Cudi, who also executive produces alongside Karina Manashil under the Mad Solar banner. The film will also feature original music by Cudi. Webber, Anthony Baldino, and Ryan Lacen serve as producers.
Reflecting on his directorial debut, Cudi said, “Directing for me has been the ultimate dream of mine since I was a little boy. I’ve always been fascinated with film, and I’ve been sharpening my sword for years waiting for this very moment. It’s truly been the best experience filming this movie and I can’t wait for the world to see a true work of passion and love, made with friends.”
Additional details on ‘Doe’ will be announced at a later date.
