To quote the late great Mac Miller, “Dang!”
It’s been nearly nine months since the untimely passing of rapper-producer Miller from an accidental overdose of cocaine and fentanyl, and hardly a week goes by without news of unreleased songs discovered (“Benji the Dog” was leaked in May) or tributes being released (Flying Lotus has the latest with “Thank U Malcolm” and “Find Your Own Way Home”).
Canadian filmmaker Cj Wallis had the best project brewing, however. Monday, the director tweeted that his Margrette Bird Pictures, a New Orleans-based company he founded with Mallory Kennedy, was to commence pre-production on a documentary detailing the minutiae of Miller’s life, friends and music.
He would have come into this project with some doc cachet. Wallis is an animator, director and writer, as well as a creative director for Curren$y’s Jetlife collective who has worked with Wiz Kalifa, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.
