Hornet Director Samuel Jerome Mason built the narrative of the film around Mac Miller’s lyrical musings about innocence, self-sabotage, and looming uncertainty of the future. The film is packed with visual metaphors and includes nods to Mac Miller’s hometown of Pittsburgh, with the famed Blue Slide Park “This album immortalizes Malcolm’s distinct spirit—as all wizards live forever through their magic—and I tried to do his legacy justice. The project is indebted to Malcolm and the work surrounding the album—the artwork and plans laid, the maps drawn. As animators and filmmakers, we feel immense gratitude in joining ranks of collaborators and contributors to this album.” – Director Samuel Jerome Mason Watch the full film on Amazon Prime and Apple+ Hornet https://framerate.tv/profile/hellohornet https://image.mux.com/fXeIHByVazbs00PIitYDysxQh9xoobDY005En5oNNFVxs/thumbnail.jpg?time=74.725891&width=1280 1280 720 1280 720 <iframe src="https://framerate.tv/embed/ad1f9936-1efd-4f2f-a944-177c7785640b" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
