Tim Price heads up Collision Course PR, a quickly growing publicity agency based in Brisbane—working with acts such as Avenged Sevenfold, Steel Panther, Twelve Foot Ninja, I Prevail, Dead Letter Circus and sleepmakeswaves and tour PR for bands such as Meshuggah, Alter Bridge, Devin Townsend, Steel Panther, I Prevail, Stick To Your Guns, Knocked Loose and Touche Amore.

Things that take up Tim Price's brainspace and time: Australian heavy/alternative/oz prog music mid-90s to now and perhaps at times over zealously spruiking them; an encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars, James Bond movies, DC comic books, cartoons and TV shows, going to and putting on shows, hanging with his wife, drinking good coffee and beer/bourbon, and getting good barbershop haircuts. Says it all.

Since running Keep Sydney Open in April 2015, Tyson has been at the forefront of the debate on Sydney’s nightlife and its cultural vibrancy.

Ella Gibbins has loved music videos her whole life. As a teenager she binge-watched Rage, Fly TV, Video Hits, and box sets of her favourite music video directors Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry.

Now she’s a Sydney-based cinematographer who has helped create emotionally eclectic visuals set to high-concept stories for the beautiful songs of artists such as Rufus, Vera Blue, and Art vs Science. 

Music videos have been a really cool way to create from the fusion of her other passions of philosophy, music, the cosmos, and art. And they have been a fantastic teacher in how art helps us constantly bend and play with reality and gives us the chance to immerse ourselves daily in other worlds.
