Why We Do This is a podcast of informal conversations with our filmmaking peers. We aim to shine a light on the people behind the camera—from cinematographers, to directors, to technicians—while reflecting on our craft and why we do it. Produced in Oakland, by French Press Films.

Emét (Emmét McGonagle) is an indie-folk musician hailing from the North of Ireland and based in Calgary, Alberta. With influences ranging from Leonard Cohen and Hozier to Phoebe Bridgers, the Derry native released their musical debut “JJ Johnston” in the depths of the coronavirus pandemic.

Follow-up singles “I Am a Bomb Technician (If You See Me Running Try to Keep Up)” and “Thran” would later be released as part of Emét’s debut EP Cheers & All the Best, the title track of which was hailed by KEXP’s Kennady Quille as “fabulous”. With support from a 13-minute short film comprising all four tracks on Cheers & All the Best, the EP was described by Chordblossom as “certainly something to write home about”.

Since the EP’s release in March 2021, Emét has moved to Calgary Alberta where they released “Hate To See It” - the first song to be released from their debut album Carlin’s Farm. Detailing the daily routine of a keyboard warrior, the single gained attention from Irish News and Out Magazine, with Pride Media Inc CEO and editorial director Diane Anderson-Minshall hailing Emét as a "bourgeoning LGBTQ star".

Carlin’s Farm (set for release on April 8th, 2022 with distribution by AntiFragile Music) was recorded in Belfast’s Half Bap Recording Studios by No Oil Paintings percussionist George Sloan, with accompaniment from Buí bassist Rónán McQuillan.
