William Ross and Jerome Leroy have recently composed the score for the upcoming Hallmark Hall of Fame movie One Christmas Eve. The film is directed by Jay Russell (The Water Horse) and stars Anne Heche as a recently-divorced mom who wants her two kids’ first Christmas without their father to be perfect. Holly Goldberg Sloan (Made in America, Angels in the Outfield) has written the script. Paula Mazur (Nim’s Island, Corinna, Corinna), Brent Shields (Christmas in Conway, Remember Sunday) and Mitchell Kaplan are executive producing the project. Ross has previously collaborated with Russell on such features as My Dog Skip, Tuck Everlasting and Ladder 49. The composer also scored Hallmark’s In My Dreams, which premiered earlier this year. One Christmas Eve is set to premiere on November 30, 2014 on the Hallmark Channel.
Ross’ upcoming projects also include the drama The Poet in Exile. Leroy has recently scored the indie fantasy drama A Better Place directed by Dennis Ho. The composer recorded his music with both individual performers and a 40-piece orchestra based in Macedonia. Ross serves as the executive music producer on the project.
