Filmmaker and music video director CJ Wallis announced via Twitter that his Margrette Bird Pictures film company is working on a documentary about late rapper, Mac Miller.
The announcement read, “So, over the next year, I’m going to start collecting interviews & content to make the definitive Mac Miller documentary for his family, friends & fans.” Wallis then asked his Twitter followers to help him choose individuals to interview.
Many of those who replied to the tweet suggested close of friends of Mac’s, such as Schoolboy Q, Anderson Paak, Karen Civil and Vince Staples. However, some Twitter users questioned if Mac’s family approved of the documentary and stated Wallis should just let him rest in peace.
However, one day after the announcement, Wallis returned to Twitter with an 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,” he wrote. ”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”
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
