The Auckland-based singer-songwriter celebrates the release of his new single and title-track of his third album, Big World, with a 20-date national tour.
Guy intends to replace the movies he dreams and sings about with the real thing, by filming his adventures and encounters with small communities, and the various local musicians who form his revolving scratch band.
Nigel Braddock, of Monkey Records, said in a statement Guy's documentary was not about the artist on the road, "but about capturing and salvaging little legends and oral histories that would otherwise remain unrecorded.
"As in Big World, where Guy endearingly charts his relative but essentially human smallness, such story-sharing is a valuable and understated way of surviving the threatening weight of the world, whereby individuals leave their unique and intriguing traces."
Hardworking Guy has toured solo and toured with the likes of Anika Moa, Bic Runga, Anna Coddington and Paul McLaney.
He takes his collection of songs to the world this year, with tours planned in Australia, the United States and Europe.
Tim Guy plays Dux de Lux, on Thursday, March 3.
