Anna Drubich (Barbarian, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Fear Street Part 3: 1666, Werewolves Within) is composing the original music for the upcoming horror thriller Desert Road. The film is written and directed by Shannon Triplett and stars Kristine Froseth, Frances Fisher, Beau Bridges, D.B. Woodside, Ryan Hurst, Max Mattern, Edwin Garcia II and Ratchel Dratch. The movie follows a young woman who crashes her car and walks down the road seeking help, only to find no matter which way she walks she ends up back at her car. Steven Schneider (Insidious, Pet Sematary) is producing the project with Josh Clayton, Kirk Martin, Alec Roth, Lauren Bates (The Pretenders) and Sam Cohan. Desert Road will premiere this March at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival.
Drubich also has Len Wiseman’s Ballerina (co-scored with Marco Beltrami) coming up. Her other recent projects include the documentary The Space Race (co-scored with Jongnic Bontemps), which premiered at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival and will debut next Monday, February 12 on National Geographic (and the following day on Disney+ and Hulu), as well as Michael Lockshin’s fantasy drama The Master and Margarita, which just opened in Russian theaters last month.
