Jade Healy, a native of Montreal, began her film career as a production executive for Muse Films, giving her an inside out knowledge of film production. However, her desire was to have a more creative impact on the films she worked on, which led her to leave producing for the art department.

Devil has gone on to win many festival awards including best feature at the Birmingham Film Festival and Screamfest. It was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.

Film and television Composers Andy Grush and Taylor Stewart have scored and conducted films for award winning directors Roger Avary (PULP FICTION, RULES OF ATTRACTION), Rodrigo Garcia (“The Sopranos,” “Six Feet Under,” “Carnivale”) and Stuart Cooper (original member of THE DIRTY DOZEN). In addition to their dramatic and emotive scores, as heralded by Variety, they’ve successfully tackled the comedic with the Jake Kasden produced feature SHADES OF RAY starring Zack Levi (“Chuck”) and Sarah Shahi (OLD SCHOOL, “Life,” “The L Word”). They’ve been commissioned to write scores for John Mayer and The Jonas Brothers and have programmed synths for Season 2 of CBS’s hit show, “The Mentalist.”

Multi-talented, The Newton Brothers (TNB) bring a musical arsenal to every project. Well steeped in the classics as well as modern electronic and rock sensibilities, TNB can pull off a full orchestral, a club-smart remixed electronic, a guitar based acoustic, a piano centric romantic and a dirty garage, full pump punk rock score with grace and authenticity, unlike any composer working today. That’s a pretty audacious statement you’re thinking….and yes it would be if it were not accurate.

Andy and Taylor have been playing music for 33 years of which they have scored for the stage, film and television of all content and size, conducted orchestras, performed Operas, run musicals and performed sold out shows at famed Hollywood venues The Troubadour, The Whisky and The Roxy.

Their most recent projects are the 5-years in the making epic war drama, DESERTION SQUAD and film based on the popular video game “Halflife: Escape From City 17 part 2″, both directed by The Purchase Brothers, SETUP with Bruce Willis and Ryan Phillippe and the Richard Branson produced THEO for director Ezna Sands starring Oscar winner Mira Sorvino.
