For 4 years I pushed forward with this film not knowing if I would actually find a way to finish it...Until now. Being able to give the very first copy (with artwork and all) to Immi while on her latest tour was a huge moment in my life. So grateful. TAKE RISKS in your life everyone!! xx
Map the Music soon to be released on Amazon.com!! The DVD is finished and ready to go! We are just waiting to confirm the release date. Details to be announced soon. In the meantime, please have a look at MTM's new Tumblr blog - complete with photos and updates!

We are still waiting to hear back from several festivals, but in the meantime we are exploring various means of getting Map the Music out there for you all to see. Turns out it is a very long process! Thank you so much for your support, and if you would like to help us spread the word please contact Samantha or Cristina.

Map the Music has been submitted to The Sundance and Santa Barbara Film Festivals, and is currently being considered to compete in both. More news on that to come soon.
The last final artist to be involved with MTM has just been confirmed. We are thrilled to have exclusive footage of Tori Amos in the film!! Tori has been a huge inspiration to me for many, many years and I am beyond excited about it! Hope everyone is well and more to come soon!! Sam xx

We are almost there!!! My amazing editor and friend Trent Ward and I have been locked away in the studio getting closer and closer to having the film finished. It may take a little bit of time to get all of that clearance mumbo jumbo taken care of, but we are on our way. Thank you for sticking by us and here is a little clip for you to enjoy :)
Hey All,
I can't believe its 2009! Have we all made our New Year's resolutions? Well I made a promise to myself and to you guys this year that I intend to keep...to get MTM finished! Unfortunately we have had some technical difficulties that have set us back a bit. Editing the feature has proven to be quite the time consumer. Lisa has done some wonderful work on the project...but I am very excited to bring another editor on board to really get this film done! Things always take way longer than you think when it comes to things like albums and films and things like that. Please don't forget about us and wish us luck in this New Year! I always say things happen for a reason, so I am thinking MTM will be done when its done at just the right time. Which hopefully will be as soon as humanly possible of course :)
I am just so grateful to all of you who are excited for the film and it really did hit me pretty hard that Lisa was not able to show you more this year. But I WILL finish this damn thing of it kills me. I say that with love of course. I am brining in a few new people to see this baby through so I am really happy about that! I may even be doing some more filming to make the story even more diverse and awesome. Hooray for new blood!
Keep MTM in your thoughts and kick some ass this year,
Sam
