Plans for a Mac Miller documentary were canceled less than 24 hours after an announcement of one was made.
Filmmaker C.J. Wallis announced Monday that a documentary about Mac Miller was in the works. However, the filmmaker later recanted the statement and stated that the doc had been shelved. The project was stopped by the rapper’s estate. He tweeted,
“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 continued,
“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.”
Wallis furthered explained that the concept of the film was to include Miller’s peers telling their “favorite Mac story” and putting it together as a “motivational and positive picture.”
He concluded,
“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.”
