Mac Miller’s estate dropped a powerful gift for fans: a short film called GO:OD AM (Time Flies, Try To Catch It) to mark the 10-year anniversary of his third studio album GO:OD AM. The film is 15 minutes of rare footage, raw interviews, and reflections from people who were in the room while he was creating an album that changed his sound and gave him new wings.

This isn’t nostalgia for its own sake. In the film Miller opens up about wanting GO:OD AM to feel like breath of fresh air. He says he was carrying darker, sadder songs before that era. He wanted positivity, swagger, confidence. (‘GO:OD AM’ was his first major label project with Warner Music.) The change was obvious. The singles “100 Grandkids” and “Weekend” featuring Miguel signaled ambition. Guest spots from Ab-Soul, Chief Keef, Lil B, Little Dragon all showed he was stretching his world.

Collaborators like Josh Berg, visual artist Rex Arrow, Christian Clancy and Quentin “Q” Cuff appear in the short film. They share unseen moments in Malibu, studio nights, creative sparks. Berg remembers time in Malibu with Rick Rubin working with Mac. Rex Arrow talks about spending that summer of 2014 creating visuals while Mac never stopped recording. Those vignettes show the man behind the music—eccentric, productive, restless.

What GO:OD AM represents isn’t just Mac’s transition but also proof that albums can heal, morph, grow. It pushed him out of slacker rap roots and toward soulful, melodic, reflective sound. It debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200. It was platinum. It made people pay attention.

Watching Time Flies, Try To Catch It is like peering through a window into Mac’s transformation. It reminds us that time passes. Moments matter. Memories frame progress. For younger millennials and Gen Z listeners who grew up with Mac Miller’s evolution this film confirms what they already felt: Mac was always reaching. Always learning. And always chasing light when shadows pressed in.
