Hello friends! My name is Madison Ledyard-King and I am a local filmmaker and actor from Cleveland, Ohio. I recently directed, produced, and starred in a short film called *BLACK BOYS DON'T CRY*. The film has officially been released on Omeleto, YouTube's top showcase of award-winning short films with an audience of over 3 million subscribers. You can watch it for free right now: https://youtu.be/23i69qV2jpI?si=Of-gyQqmk0NPLEDg BLACK BOYS DON'T CRY follows a young black man attempts to repress his feelings in order to navigate the challenges of his life and the ongoing demands of college. The film explores themes of mental health, anxiety, and toxic masculinity in black men. I want to extend the project to this group because it touches on such an important subject that I hope some of y'all will be able to resonate with. Please help spread the word by *liking*, *commenting*, *sharing* the link on social media, and telling your friends!. This marks my official debut as a filmmaker, and originally had its first official premiere this year at the Oscar qualifying 48th* Cleveland International Film Festival.* The film was made in part by the Cleveland Camera Rental Incubator Program <https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/movies/cleveland-indie-film-incubator-premieres-6-new-films-northeast-ohio/95-ade44a58-a7cf-419e-ad05-b2c26741d8bc>. -- I am very proud of my work and hope you all enjoy the film.
