As the Executive Producer of Can I Get A Little More Me, Mike Dias didn’t just pull this story together—he unlocked it.

‍

This is the film nobody else could have made. Not because the gear was inaccessible, but because the people were. Because the truth behind the invention of in-ear monitors doesn’t live in patents or press releases. It lives in tour buses, burned friendships, old emails, and memories still too raw for most to say out loud. Until Mike asked.

‍

A former in-ear insider who helped build the market from the inside out, Mike was there when the calls came in. When the prototypes got hacked together side-stage. When perfectionism clashed with panic. He knew who was there, what it cost, and why so many walked away unheard.

‍

That’s what makes this film different.

‍

Mike didn’t chase interviews. He built the trust infrastructure to let the story unfold. Over years. Through relationships. With reverence.

That’s why this isn’t a film about gear. It’s a film about trust, obsession, anxiety, and leadership under pressure—because that’s what the invention actually was.

‍

And as the interviews rolled and the edits stacked, Mike didn’t just oversee the process—he shaped it. He curated the arc. He protected the tone. He ensured that every story hit with emotion and precision, not nostalgia. This isn’t a retrospective. It’s a reckoning.

‍

More than anything, Mike knew the biggest question wasn’t who invented in-ear monitors. It was why so few people know the truth—and what it means to finally tell it.
