UPDATE:

We tweeted our intentions to begin developing a doc on Mac over the next year. At the same time, we reached out to all those closest to him to begin the process of making it official. 1/4

We heard back from @christianclancy & The Estate who said the family has requested we hold off on the project at this time.

We immediately compiled as the last thing we'd want is to negatively impact anyone involved, quite the opposite.

We felt comfortable announcing our intentions in advance of receiving permission because they were just that – intentions.

The concept was peers telling their one favorite Mac story & cutting them together as a motivational & positive picture.

Not a life story.

The outpouring of support for the doc and that it was us trying to make one was humbling, and in time perhaps we will get to see it through.

For now, we have hours of incredible music and thats always been more than enough.

Respect/Love….#ripmac

ORIGINAL STORY: Filmmaker and hip-hop music video director CJ Wallis is currently working on a “definitive” documentary focusing on the life of the late rapper Mac Miller. His company Margrette Bird Pictures is starting pre-production on the untitled film, with Wallis taking to Twitter to ask fans who they think would be a good fit for interviews. Many have answered with the likes of Anderson .Paak, ScHoolboy Q, Thundercat, Vince Staples and Earl Sweatshirt, while some have suggested his parents and ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande.

Miller passed in September 2018 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and ethanol. He was 26.

Stay tuned for more details regarding the documentary.

In other music news, Tyler, the Creator is hitting the road this Fall.

So, over the next year I’m going to start collecting interviews & content to make the definitive @MacMiller documentary for his family, friends & fans…

Please share & tag anyone you think we need to speak with! #birdseyeview #ripmac pic.twitter.com/PmmOhU5g3A
