 Robin Rowe |
While working at DreamWorks Animation, Robin Rowe was given a treatment of Chicken Run by a development executive there and encouraged to write his first screenplay. He signed with an agent before he'd finished writing his first screenplay. He's written several comedy screenplays and his screenplays are read by executives at all the major studios. Prior to DreamWorks, he helped build the robotic studios at NBC owned-and-operated WMAQ-TV Chicago and was technical director of broadcast news at mid-market NBC station WICD-TV. As a teacher and public speaker, Robin has facilitated weekly workshops and presentations at ScreenplayLab for more than two years. He's taught as an adjunct professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey and taught night school at the University of Washington. This is his second year teaching a screenplay workshop at the West Hollywood Book Fair. He's moderated industry panels for Sherwood Oaks Experimental College and for the Scriptwriters Network. He's chaired the MovieEditor Conference twice, presenting the technology chiefs of the major studios. He's been a speaker at the National Association of Broadcasters Convention, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and many other conventions in the US and abroad. As a journalist, Robin is the film and television reviewer for the newspaper British Weekly and for Hollywood Today. He writes about the film and television industry for many publications. Robin was a division manager at Fortune 500 defense company SAIC and a navy research scientist. |
