Music is a large part of how we show the characters' personalities and culture throughout the film. We wanted to juxtapose the parents’
traditional Chinese theme against Scott’s bassy, poppy theme.
Later on, the Cantopop song that plays during one of our flashback scenes is inspired by the Cantopop radio that Nelson's parents listen to (you can listen to the radio
here!).
We created a couple of playlists that would help Lillie in her composing process. In the end, Lillie did a great job at creating a score that is authentic to our experience and also pulls the viewer further in.
