In 2013, Ashton Sanders made his film debut in The Retrieval which was played at South By Southwest. After another small role in Straight Outta Compton, Sanders played the middle third of the lead in the film Moonlight. It was his first major breakout movie which went on to be awarded as Best Picture at the 2017 Academy Awards.

After Moonlight’s success, Sanders decided to take his career in a different direction and decided to work on big budget films such as Captive State and The Equalizer 2, where he will play opposite to Denzel Washington.
