Rob Gokee, Composer, to Guest on Euro Chat February 27th, 2011

Have you ever wondered how a music composer reads a screenplay? Is it for tone, pace, dramatic tension? 

Have you ever thought how reading a screenplay from a different point of view can help your screenwriting?

Well now is your chance to find out with Euro Scriptchat's next guest Rob Gokee on Sunday 27th February 2011, 8pm GMT.

Rob Gokee is a Composer & Author who studied at the University of New Mexico under seasoned composer Christopher Young (Spider-Man 3 , The Grudge ,Ghost Rider), where he sharpened his orchestration, mixing, and marketing skills.
