Toby Chu is composing the score for the upcoming indie drama Kelly & Cal. The film is directed by Jen McGowan and stars Juliette Lewis, Jonny Weston, Josh Hopkins, Cybill Shepherd and Margaret Colin. The movie centers on the relationship between a suburban-trapped mother and a wheelchair-bound young man who brings out her former self. Amy Lowe Starbin has written the screenplay and Adi Ezroni & Mandy Tagger (A Late Quartet, The English Teacher) are producing the project for Spring Pictures. Kelly & Cal is expected to premiere in 2014.
Chu will also return to score the fifth season of the USA hit drama Covert Affairs, which is set to air next year. The composer whose other previous scoring credits include USA’s Burn Notice and FX’s The Riches has also scored the animated feature Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return (previously entitled Dorothy of Oz), which features the voices of Lea Michele, Hugh Dancy, Megan Hilty, Jim Belushi, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Kelsey Grammer, Oliver Platt, Bernadette Peters and Patrick Stewart. The movie will be released nationwide on May 9, 2014.
