Composer Rolfe Kent has continually demonstrated his versatility as a storyteller by bringing us such wonderful scores across every genre. He has built lasting relationships with directors like Alexander Payne and Jason Reitman. He has also given scores such as Up In The Air, Sideways, Legally Blonde, Wedding Crashers, About Schmidt and many more. Rolfe recently scored the Laurel and Hardy biopic titled Stan & Ollie. In this interview we talk a little about Rolfe's path to becoming a composer, and then dissect his work on Stan & Ollie. The film has a really deep emotional core, and Rolfe was able to build these iconic characters up musically and give the film the emotional resonance it needed. It was such a pleasure to welcome Rolfe back as a guest on Film.Music.Media!
