Michael Brook is scoring the upcoming documentary Fed Up. The film is directed by Stephanie Soechtig and features Katie Couric who reveals a 30-year campaign by the food industry, aided by the U.S. government, to mislead and confuse the American public, resulting in one of the largest health epidemics in history. Soechtig is also producing the Atlas Films production with Eve Marson (Craigslist Joe) and Sarah Olson. Couric is executive producing the project with Laurie David, Regina Kulik Scully (The Invisible War), Heather Reisman and Michael & Michelle Walrath. Brook has previously composed the score for the Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth produced by Laurie David. Fed Up will be premiering later this month in competition at the Sundance Film Festival.
As previously reported, Brook also has the indie drama Aloft (previously entitled Cry/Fly) starring Jennifer Connelly and Cillian Murphy coming up. The film will be premiering in February at the Berlin Film Festival. The composer has also scored the upcoming Diego Luna’s biopic Cesar Chavez: An American Hero starring Michael Pena, which is set to open on March 28, 2014, as well Jason Priestley’s Cas & Dylan starring Richard Dreyfuss.
