Kickstarter Goal for MTM 2 reached!!

mapthemusic — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:20:18 +0000

Guys we did it!! In fact we went a few hundred over our goal. I feel like I should donate the little bit extra to a music related charity. Any thoughts? I can’t tell you how moved and grateful I am that you believe in what I am doing, and went out of your way to support the film. I promise I will not let you down! With my new equipment, I filmed local people from all over the UK, went out on 6 Tori Amos shows getting footage, sat down with Amanda Palmer in LA (and shot the entire show with 2 cameras), shot Rachael Yamagata in Santa Barbara, did some kinda secret stuff I won’t tell you about until you see the film, had a house concert with Levi Weaver…and I am just getting started!! I have so much work ahead of me, and your support has inspired me to keep going. Sometimes even I think “What am I doing? Ah man. I haven’t a clue.” But then I remember…wait yes I do. Its about a passion for love…and music…and film…its all there.

Can’t wait to show you more. Updates soon!! So much love to ALL of you.

So I’m a stand up comic and a documentary filmmaker. How did this happen? Growing up I wanted to train killer whales.

New (well old but never released) footage from MTM! Why is the guitar so beautiful? I bet Jason Kanakis (The Hotel Cafe Tour) can explain why…

Just got back from a trip to Northern California to see the brilliant Zoe Keating perform. Her music was a huge part of the inspiration for the film, so I wanted to put this piece together for her to say thank you. Here is Zoe’s “Optimist” set to a few different settings I find to be optimistic. Hope you like it!
