Toro Y Moi // Lessons [doc]

Keep it real, keep it light, and take time to experiment: these are our three lessons in creativity as instructed by Chaz Bundick. And as a world-renowned musician performing under the titles Toro Y Moi, Les Sins, and Sides of Chaz, this guy should know. Director Liam MacRae transports us to the East shores of San Francisco Bay, where warm instrumentals evoke hazy waterside visuals. On a hike in the sunbathed hills of Berkeley, Chaz talks about the importance of honesty, his dog Michael, and nerding out on skate videos - all of which have influenced his creative manner. With a focus on the interplay of location and sound, music and visuals, MacRae and Bundick bring the west coast heat to the rest of us. Once the music starts, you’re anywhere but here. ABOUT A NEW BREED Times are changing, and a new breed of artists are closing the gap on their ambitions; relieved of obstacles that were hindering a decade ago. When a musician's Soundcloud uploads turn into a world tour, and a photographer's steady Instagram following evolves into an international campaign, it's clear to see that more than ever, being a creator is synonymous with being self-made.
