Synopsis: 15-year-old Maddie Stone rules her school yard under the protection of her family name.  But after discovering her notorious father has been arrested, she has to make his bail money or lose the yard. The more Maddie fights, the more her world spirals out of control – and the closer she gets to becoming the man she’s trying to save.

Sweet Maddie Stone has won a number of awards including ‘British/ Irish Short Film of the Year’ at the London Critics Circle Film Awards. In response to the announcement, Director Brady Hood said "I'm overwhelmed, ecstatic and very humbled! This is a special moment which belongs to everyone who invested so much into this film. it even makes waking up to the warden (producer) of the prison we bunked in , playing "Black Skinhead" at 5am, all the more worth it. It's been an incredible journey and hopefully this opens doors for all those involved."
