“Writing the score for Late Night was a dream project,” says Barber. “The collaboration process began from Mindy Kaling’s genius script, creating a Late Night Band theme for The Katherine Newbury Show, and then working together with director Nisha Ganatra to create key themes from this central theme – to capture the humor, and emotional, moving moments. The score builds from this central theme, taking on lush string textures, and an intimate indie guitar, and percussion approach.”

Director Nisha Ganatra added: “Making Late Night with Katherine Newbury believable meant that every detail of the show had to be created, not just the set. We composed a theme song, cast a band to be the Late Night band, cast the “crew” who work behind the scenes of the show…and then we had to plan our real crew shooting our Late Night ‘crew’ in that same small space, all in 25 days. Hopefully no one will stop to think, ‘What episodes?!’ They also won’t notice because Lesley Barber wrote a theme song to the Late Night show that is original yet sounds like something you have heard your whole life. We use that theme song as the basis for the score throughout the movie.”

In Late Night, “a late-night talk show host’s world is turned upside down when she hires her first and only female staff writer. Originally intended to smooth over diversity concerns, her decision brings about unexpectedly hilarious consequences as the two women who are separated by culture and generation become united by their love of a biting punchline.” The film opens in NY and LA June 7 and nationwide on June 14.
