Description

The CG animated short film for Mac Miller's posthumous album, Balloonerism, follows a group of school friends who are transfigured by the music of a chord organ and launched into a shadow world. Pursued by the turtle of time, they must plod through the underbelly of adulthood. Based on the lyrics and music of Mac Miller, this 24 minute film delves into the album’s central themes of lost innocence, self-sabotage, and the uncertainties of the future.
