Time fates destiny in “Song One” as Anne Hathaway stars as Franny, an anthropologist doing research in Morocco, returns to New York when her brother HENRY (Ben Rosenfield), a young musician, suffers an accident that leaves him comatose. In a chance instant, a young musician’s life is abruptly interrupted when Henry, absorbed in the music playing on his headphones, steps off a curb into the path of a taxi.
Making a movie about music creates its own backstage soundtrack, in parallel with the music the audience hears onscreen. To capture a vibrant music scene with genuine appreciation and authenticity, Writer/Director Kate Barker-Froyland and “Song One’s” tight-knit creative team immersed themselves in the modern urban folk and indie music that serves as the romantic drama’s backdrop.
The music came before the images in the upcoming endearing romantic movie “Song One” starring Anne Hathaway directed by Kate Barker-Froyland who also worked as an assistant to the director in “Devil Wears Prada.”
