Mike McCready has contributed the original music to the new family sports drama You Gotta Believe. The Pearl Jam lead guitarist has written and performed several instrumental rock tracks, as well as the original credits song My Son for the film directed by Ty Roberts (12 Mighty Orphans, The Iron Orchard) and starring Luke Wilson, Greg Kinnear, Sarah Gadon, Michael Cash, Lew Temple, Etienne Kellici and Molly Parker. The movie is based on a true story and follows a group of underdogs from Fort Worth, Texas who – after dedicating the season to a teammate’s ailing father – takes its Cinderella run all the way to a record-breaking showdown in the Little League World Series. Lane Garrison (Spy Intervention, The Divorce Party) wrote the screenplay. Santa Rita Film Co.’s Houston Hill is producing the project with Matt Harvey, Pasha Patriki and Byron Campbell. McCready has previously composed the score for several features, including the documentaries The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley: The Searcher & this year’s The Beach Boys and the narrative films Fat Kid Rules the World and Sadie. You Gotta Believe will be released in theaters nationwide this coming weekend by Well Go USA Entertainment.
