Coming-of-age Feature
KEY CHANGE is an independent coming-of-age story that follows DHARINI, a talented but struggling music producer in L.A. preparing for the biggest showcase of his career.
But on the most important week of his life, Dharini gets news that his estranged father has died suddenly and named him as the next-of-kin caretaker for his 12-year-old half-sister ISABELLA. There’s just one problem: Dharini never even knew she existed.
Thrust unexpectedly into the role of guardian, Dharini struggles to balance the mounting pressures of organizing a flawless career-defining showcase with learning to embrace his responsibilities caring for a grieving new sister he's just met.
Dharini and Isabella forge an unlikely bond through their shared love of music, which helps them heal old wounds and navigate their rapidly changing lives.
Set in LA's eclectic music scene, KEY CHANGE is a funny and poignant coming-of-age story about the power of forgiveness, family, and finding harmony in life's unpredictability.
