Rolfe Kent is composing the music for the upcoming animated feature Tibetan Rock Dog. The film is directed by Ash Brannon (Toy Story 2, Surf’a Up) and features the voices of Luke Wilson, Mae Whitman, J.K. Simmons, Eddie Izzard, Matt Dillon, Sam Elliott and Jorge Garcia. The movie follows a wide-eyed Tibetan Mastiff who discovers a radio and decides to leave home to fulfill his dream of becoming a musician. The American/Chinese co-production is produced by Reel FX Creative Studios (Free Birds, The Book of Life) and Mandoo Pictures. The project marks Kent’s second animated film following this year’s French production The Prince and the 108 Demons. The composer’s other previous scoring credits include Sideways, Election, Up in the Air and Wedding Crashers. Tibetan Rock Dog is expected to be released later this year.
