Clarity of Cal

Directed by Carter Knopik

'Clarity of Cal' captures the quiet chaos behind Vulfpeck’s most ambitious undertaking: recording a studio album entirely on stage. Over eight live shows—six in Berkeley, two in Los Angeles—the band pursues a single goal: the perfect take, played in real time, without a net. Director Carter Knopik documents the grind of rehearsals, the strain of performance, and the pressure of trying to bottle magic without breaking it. A raw and revealing portrait of what it means to chase clarity—in art, and in self.
