Mau – Watch the trailer for new documentary about design visionary Bruce Mau
MAU is the first feature-length documentary about Canadian design visionary Bruce Mau and serves as an essential introduction to the wider non-design world audience someone who has been described by The New York Times as “one of the most creative minds in design today.” Mau’s insights into the possibilities of design, combined with his own unlikely backstory and inspiring creative journey will leave viewers with renewed optimism that we have the tools to tackle some of the world’s biggest problems.
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.
Most of us think of design visually – we imagine a product, something expensive, the work of a singular artist.
Bruce Mau doesn’t.
