Enis Rotthoff

Enis Rotthoff is a Los Angeles-based Film Composer from Berlin, Germany. He is passionate about feature films and loves writing both orchestral and electronic music. His ability to fuse musical genres has made him a leading voice in Germany and contributes to his growing international reputation. A film’s story and its characters are the inspiration for his music that he envisions in a dialogue with the filmmakers. His versatility allows him to experiment with contrasting and cutting-edge ideas. Enis has collaborated with visionary directors like Wolfgang Petersen on "Four Against the Bank" and David Wnendt on both on the satirical "Look who´s Back” and the edgy Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominee “Wetlands". He also scored the historical novel adaptation "Measuring the World", which garnered him a Jerry Goldsmith Award nomination. Born in 1979, Enis Rotthoff has pursued his dream of becoming a film composer since childhood. He earned a scholarship for young composers in Berlin before studying and working for years with Academy Award-winning composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek on such films as "Finding Neverland" or "Unfaithful". Enis graduated both from the Film University Babelsberg in "Film Composition" and from the University of Arts Berlin with a degree in "Audiovisual Communication". In 2007 he became a Sundance Composers Lab Fellow, and in 2018, received the German Music Author´s prize for his acclaimed work as a film composer.
