Our Caitlin Yeo wins 'Feature Film Score of the Year'
at APRA Screen Music Awards, for her music in 'The Rocket'.
Last night Caitlin Yeo's career soared as she won the 2013 APRA AGSC Screen Music Award for Feature Film Score of the year for her beautiful score for the critically acclaimed The Rocket .
"It's always nice to win," Yeo said. "Composers spend most of their time alone behind the scenes, staying in that cave of a studio and never coming out to speak to anybody, so to have your peers judge you to be doing something good, something worthwhile, is a gem of a feeling."
It was a night to remember as Ashley Irwin musically directed the evening and put on and extraordinary show, with the Chasers Andrew Hansen and Chris Taylor getting laughs throughout the evening. For the full list of nominees and winners click here
