This year im directing my first feature film ‘Teddy’ at Netflix which I wrote and will also be starring,” he shared in the lengthy caption. He continued, ” 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. I added a lot of my own personal struggles and experiences in it, so this film is very close to my heart.”
