Enis Rotthoff

Composer · Born September 21, 1979 (47)

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. He utilizes custom instrumental palettes and sounds that elevate the film's vision with a unique signature sound for each project. Enis has collaborated with visionary directors like Wolfgang Petersen on the heist movie "Four Against the Bank" and David Wnendt on both 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", recorded with the Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna, which garnered him a Jerry Goldsmith Award nomination. A particularly fun project for Enis was Jason Lei Howden's action comedy "Guns Akimbo" starring Daniel Radcliffe and Samara Weaving. This film allowed him to channel his passion for electronic music, mashing up retro 80s and 90s analogue synths and sounds. His collaboration with David Wnendt on "The Sunlit Night" starring Jenny Slate and Zach Galifianakis premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. He loves to work in a wide range of genres from orchestral scores for children's movies like "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove" and "Lassie - A New Adventure" to an electronic score for the Wall Street drama "The Price" (Director: Anthony Onah), a small string ensemble for the British drama "Love Sarah" (Director: Eliza Schroeder) or the hybrid orchestral and electronic score for the psychological thriller "The Good Neighbor" starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (Director: Stephan Rick) 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 was selected as a Sundance Composers Lab Fellow, and in 2018, received the German Music Author's prize for his acclaimed work as a film composer. Enis's musical range includes works for small ensembles and large orchestral pieces that infuse both rare and electronic instruments. He has had the honor to collaborate and record with some of the finest European orchestras and soloists such as trumpet player Till Broenner, cellist Johannes Moser and violinist Kolja Blacher.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
