Nick Urata has composed the music for the Amazon Studios pilot Highston. The show is created by Bob Nelson (Nebraska) and stars Lewis Pullman, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Chris Parnell, Curtis Armstrong, as well as guest stars Shaquille O’Neal and Flea. The comedy follows a 19-year-old with a wide circle of celebrity friends – whom only he can see. Nelson is also executive producing the project with Sacha Baron Cohen & Todd Schulman (Bruno, The Dictator) and Todd Hoffman (Love Stinks, Labor Pains). Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris have directed the pilot episode. Urata has previously co-scored the director team’s last feature Ruby Sparks, as well their directorial debut Little Miss Sunshine as part of DeVotchKa. The pilot episode of Highston is now available to stream on Amazon.
As previously reported, Urata also has the features Love the Coopers and Fun House coming up.
