Lil Yachty - Keep Sailing (Film)

“I was probably the popularest kind on campus, but in the worst way,” Lil Yachty says partway through #KeepSailing, a new film directed by Petra Collins and produced by The FADER. “I was a laughingstock. I was a joke because of my hair. Being in college really let me know I don’t want to live a regular life. I want to be rich, I want to be a celebrity, I want to be famous. I want to have this hair and people don’t laugh, they get excited.” Filmed in the Atlanta suburbs where the red-headed Lil Yachty grew up, this 14-minute film — sort of like a docu-musical — is a gorgeous and goofy look at his rise. It’s full of surreal reenactments, boat trips, and interviews with Lil Yachty’s mom, his uncle Darnell Boat, his go-to producers Burberry Perry and Earl, and all his good friends in the Sailing Team. Plus! There are musical performances of two new songs — “So Many People” and “All In” — both from Lil Yachty's new mixtape Summer Songs 2, which comes out tonight, July 19, at midnight EST. The kid had a dream and he made it real. http://www.thefader.com/2016/07/19/lil-yachty-documentary-keep-sailing-petra-collins Subscribe now for more The FADER  http://bit.ly/XPZVfG Read the FADER: http://www.thefader.com/ Follow the FADER on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thefader Like the FADER on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/11JaNSJ Follow the FADER on Tumblr: http://bit.ly/xerObW Director: Petra Collins Story: Petra Collins, Robert Semmer & Miles McCollum Producers: Robert Semmer, Sydney Buchan, Kevin Hayden, David Brody Executive Producers: Joseph Patel, Andy Cohn, Rob Stone, Jon Cohen & Anthony Holland Associate Producer: Scott Perry Production Manager: Joy Jorgenson Production Coordinators: Maria Altamirano & Madison LaClair DP: Kevin Hayden Camera Operator: Scott Perry AC: Chauncey Tanton Production Designer: Lauren Nikrooz Stylist: Zara Mirkin Art assistant: DeJuan Anderson Editor: Orian Barki Additional Editors: Brook Linder, Eddie Shore, Jason Oh, Chris Jones, Sam Balaban Colorist: Pedro Vivas Hernández Sound: Eugene Wasserman Titles: Grace Miceli Special Thanks: Kevin "Coach K" Lee Pee Thomas Scott Greer Sarah Alminawi Jennie Boddy
