About Bruce Mau:
Over the span of his career, this creative dark horse has completed the transformation from world-class graphic designer to designer of the world. He has worked with the greatest living architects like Rem Koolhaas and Frank Gehry on books and museums. Even rebranded nations such as Guatemala and Denmark. In short, Bruce Mau is a pioneer of transformation design and the belief that design can be used to create positive change in our world.
Bruce Mau shares “Everything from womb to tomb is design. When you plan your day, you’re a designer. When you come up with a new idea at work, you’re a designer. When you figure out how to improve your relationships, or cook a dinner, you’re a designer. Design is the act of giving shape to our lives and our world. We are all designing all the time.”
About the film:
Mau is the first feature-length documentary about the design visionary Bruce Mau and explores his unlikely creative journey and ever-optimistic push to tackle the world’s biggest problems with design.
The film tells the story of his humble beginnings in Canada to his sharp rise to fame in the design world. A year with Mau takes us across the globe, from Beijing to New York, and shows 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.
