Composer Chris Fitzgerald's multifaceted original score includes a pastiche of carnival music, requiem music for a funeral scene, unsettling atmospheric backgrounds, and three songs, among them an authentic big-band number and a brooding Gothic rock track. Actress Ellen Adair has landed roles in the TV series 'Veep' (HBO), 'The Slap' (NBC), 'Nurse Jackie' (Showtime), and most recently in the HBO television series 'Codes of Conduct' starring Helena Bonham Carter.
