Mau is the first-ever, feature-length documentary about the design visionary Bruce Mau. The film explores his unlikely creative journey and ever-optimistic push to tackle the world’s biggest problems with design.

Over the span of his career, this creative dark horse has completed the transformation from world-class graphic designer to designer of the world. From advising global brands like Coca Cola and Disney, to rethinking a 1000-year plan for Mecca, Islam’s holiest site. From working with the greatest living architects (Rem Koolhaas & Frank Gehry) on books and museums to rebranding nations such as Guatemala and Denmark. Bruce Mau is a pioneer of transformation design and the belief that design can be used to create positive change in our world.

For Mau, everything is design and design is everything. And even more importantly, everyone is a designer.

This radical notion is at the heart of this film: good design = good time = good life.

The film tells the story of Mau’s humble beginnings in Canada to his sharp rise to fame in the design space. A year with Mau will take us across the globe, from Beijing to New York City, to show that design is an agent of change and has the power to shape our world. We begin where we end - in the forest outside of Sudbury, Canada - and his biggest design project to date... his own life.
