The three composers up for the 2021 APRA Best Original Music In A Film Award each faced entirely different challenges with their scores. They've also had to wait a long time to find out which of them has taken out the top prize.  The original in-person event was first scheduled for October last year, then November, then early this month.

It's finally happening this week, sadly on-line. Vying for top honour for Film Music are Arli Liberman for Savage,  Ewan Clark for the adaptation of The Turn of the Screw and Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper for Shadow in the Cloud. 

Lynn speaks to Arli, Ewan and Mahuia about the different challenges they faced on these huge projects.
