FAQs

Q: Why did you chose to feature Imogen Heap?

A: Imogen is brilliant. Not to mention she is one of the most genuine, original, and gracious artists you will ever meet. When my dad passed away, my only way of dealing with it was going to concerts, and Imogen and Zoe Keating were on tour together at the time. So when I got the idea for Map the Music, it just felt right that both of them would be a huge part of it. Plus Imogen has some amazing fans so it made sense to go on her tour for the majority of the filming. Actually, Zoe was the very first person to know about the project.

Q: Did you go to film school?

A: Nope. I don't think going to college is the only way to be successful. I think its great for some people, but not for everyone. I just knew I had this idea and that I would make it up as I went along. And I still am to be honest. I asked a lot of questions, knew what I wanted, and was not afraid to make mistakes. And I did of course, so I surrounded myself with people who understood what I was trying to do and was not afraid to ask for help. Still learning. Still asking...

Q: How did you fund this project?

A: With a national commercial I booked for VISA. They weren't kidding when they said its everywhere you want to be.

Q: How did you get the artists in the film involved?

A: I found an opportunity to talk to them, and I asked if I could set up an interview. Then once I had that going, I asked if I could meet up with them on tour to get some B roll and it just kept growing from there...I was honest about where I was coming from and I what I hoped to achieve with the film. I figured the worst that could happen would be they say no. Once I had Imogen on board, most everyone else was too. I am still so incredibly grateful for that.

Q: Why is Jim Bianco in a bathtub? (This is a question you might ask after you see the film.)

A: Because he's Jim Bianco.
