About the Composer(s)
Michael Andrews (also known by his stage name Elgin Park) is an acclaimed American multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and film/television composer known for his minimal, highly creative, and genre-blending scores. Born in San Diego, Andrews began his musical journey in the 1990s as the frontman of the alternative pop band The Origin and as a founding member of the acid-jazz group The Greyboy Allstars.
Andrews achieved international legendary status for his haunting, piano-led cover of Tears for Fears' 'Mad World' (featuring Gary Jules) for Donnie Darko (2001). In television, he composed the beloved score for the cult series Freaks and Geeks. He has since scored blockbuster comedies and dramas including Bridesmaids, Funny People, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, The Big Sick, and The King of Staten Island. For Peter Segal's 2018 romantic comedy-drama Second Act, Andrews composed a light, uplifting, and contemporary score that blends acoustic guitars, warm synthesizers, and breezy rhythms to accompany Maya's inspiring career transformation.

About the Movie
Maya Vargas is a street-smart, 43-year-old assistant manager at a local big-box store who is passed over for a well-deserved promotion in favor of a candidate with an elite college degree. When her best friend's tech-savvy son creates a fake, high-profile resume and online persona for her, Maya lands a prestigious executive position at a major cosmetics firm on Madison Avenue. Now, she must prove that her real-world street smarts are just as valuable as academic credentials in this inspiring second act.
