Directed by Mark Pallman, the Universal Beings documentary follows Makaya to Los Angeles, Chicago, London and New York City for a behind the scenes look into the making of the artist's breakthrough album, taking the viewer through the story of Makaya's life, his process and the community of musicians that helped bring this project to life. Universal Beings was recorded at four sessions in New York, Chicago, London and Los Angeles, and features some of the best 'new' jazz players from those hot bed cities: Brandee Younger, Tomeka Reid, Dezron Douglas, Joel Ross, Shabaka Hutchings, Junius Paul, Nubya Garcia, Daniel Casimir, Ashley Henry, Josh Johnson, Jeff Parker, Anna Butters, Carlos Niño and Miguel-Atwood Ferguson - all of whom feature on Universal Beings E&F Sides." - International Anthem
