Chaz Bear

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.

Following his fourth studio album, acclaimed musician Chaz Bundick, otherwise known as Toro Y Moi, brings to the screen a sonic experience featuring all new live arrangements. Filmed in the middle of the Mojave desert, Toro Y Moi: Live from Trona presents an entire concert album, recorded live beneath the geological wonders known as the Trona Pinnacles.

The 30-minute short accompanies Chaz Bear’s 2019 mixtape of the same name.

In the redwoods, by the ocean... On September 23rd and 24th 2022, Toro y Moi hosted "2 days of music" at the Fernwood Lodge and Campground in Big Sur, CA. In this beautiful and iconic environment, a crowd of 250 fans camped out and enjoyed musical performances, dance parties, art installations, yoga and meditation. On the first night of the event, Toro y Moi performed their album Mahal in full. You can see and hear that evening, right now...

A short film of five connected music videos from the Toro y Moi EP of the same name. Chaz Bear, behind the music, weaves a heartfelt, country-twinged ode to his hometown in South Carolina with the help of his high school photography teacher.
