Mac Miller Estate Celebrates ‘GO:OD AM’ Anniversary With Short Film ‘Time Flies, Try to Catch It’

Released on Sept. 18, 2015, Mac Miller‘s third album and major-label debut GO:OD AM turns 10 today, and his estate has released a short film to celebrate its anniversary.

GO:OD AM (Time Flies, Try to Catch It) is a 15-minute documentary about the making of the album and the headspace he was in. The film opens up with a quote from the Pittsburgh rapper where he explains what he wanted to accomplish with this particular project. “I think for me, I wanted the album to feel like a breath of fresh air,” he says. “A lot of the music I’ve done recently was a little darker and sad. I wanted this album to kinda be a departure from that and feel confident and positive.”

The film’s synopsis (via press release) reads as follows: “Directed by Sam Balaban, who directed Mac’s “Inertia” freestyle and later the Making Faces short film, the piece looks back at the album that marked Mac’s first release for a major label and foreshadowed the dramatic artistic evolution that would take place over the course of his subsequent albums. The film examines the significance of that album through archival footage and contributions from Mac’s longtime engineer Josh Berg, manager Christian Clancy, visual collaborator Ian Wolfson (better known to Mac fans as Rex Arrow), and close friend (and hypeman) Quentin Cuff, among others.”

Mac Miller died on Sept. 7, 2018. He was 26 years old.
