Debutant filmmaker Lin-Manuel Miranda devised the perfect way to pay homage to Jonathan Larson, the creator of the Pulitzer prize-winning musical Rent. Andrew Garfield’s Tick, Tick... Boom! that released on Netflix early this month is adapted from an autobiographical musical Larson wrote just before he turned 30 in the late 1980s. “I had a weird confidence about pulling this off because I have experienced the life of a struggling songwriter in my 20s in New York city,” says the director.
