UPDATE: The project has been put on hold at the request of Mac’s family and estate.
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.

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

A documentary based on Mac Miller’s life is set to be released.
Filmmaker CJ Wallis announced on social media that his company Margrette Bird Pictures is beginning pre-production on a documentary chronicling the late rapper. Wallis found the company with Mallory Kennedy and is based in New Orleans. He serves as the creative director for Currensy’s Jetlife company.
“So, over the next year I’m going to start collecting interviews & content to make the definitive @MacMiller documentary for his family, friends & fans,” he tweeted Monday morning. He asked everyone to share the post and tag anyone who would be good to interview for the documentary, which doesn’t have a release date yet.

Mac was found dead in his home in Studio City last September. The authorities attributed his death to an overdose of fentanyl and cocaine. He received a posthumous Grammy “Best Rap Album” nomination for his latest album Swimming.
