Since its release, Moonlight has grown from a film centred on the life of a young man, Chiron, across different stages of his life to one of the most talked about phenomenons in the Award Season. Nicholas Britell, the Oscar nominee who composed the score for the film, revealed he created a theme of growth that mirrored the main character’s and he broke down how the theme evolved from a single piece of music on the podcast below.

The score for Moonlight has been nominated for Best Original Music Score at Academy Awards Ceremony this year.
