"A look into the mind of MYLZ and how one thing in life always leads into the next; endlessly."
 
​MYLZ, is a visual artist based in Burlington, Ontario; an artist who represents the embodiment of our art being the sum of its parts. Through his development as an expressive child, his creative process, and the instinctual response a human skeleton invokes which drives him,MYLZ walks us through his philosophy that everything that comes before us contributes to the next piece of art we produce. As we delve into MYLZ’s thoughts, we begin to wonder if our experience with him is the next sequence in our own process.

MYLZ examines several distinct works of his; each piece relates to a point in his life, and the film focuses on how these moments collide with one another; moments and ideas that lay dormant until they explode onto a canvas. The documentary observes MYLZ in a large studio setting; in which, we see him tending to works in progress, works from the past, and addressing how his past, present, and future self exist in unity to create the next piece of work. Over the course of the documentary, we see his work only close, obscured detail; as we become more familiar with the artist behind the work, we begin to see the whole of his creations.
