Kathryn Kluge & Kim Allen Kluge (Silence) have composed the original score for the upcoming drama Small Engine Repair. The film is directed by John Pollono and stars Jon Bernthal, Shea Whigham, Jordana Spiro, Ciara Bravo, Spencer House, as well as Pollono himself. The movie is based on Pollono’s play of the same title and follows three blue collar childhood buddies who meet under murky circumstances after hours in an out of the way repair shop, where the arrival of a fourth man triggers long-simmering resentments. Bernthal is also producing the project with Peter Abrams (Wedding Crashers, Serendipity), Rick Rosenthal (Match, Mean Creek), Noah Rothman and Jonathan Joseph. Small Engine Repair will premiere in March at the 2020 SXSW Film Festival.
The composers also have the indie drama Grace and Grit directed by Sebastian Siegel and starring Mena Suvari, Stuart Townsend, Frances Fisher, Rebekah Graf, Nick Stahl, Lydia Hearst and Mariel Hemingway coming up. A release later this year is expected.
