Fil Eisler Biography
composer
Fil Eisler faithfully composes music that embodies both story and
character. It’s become his signature, and can be heard on
“Revenge,” ABC’s hit drama series starring Madeleine Stowe,
Emily Van Camp and Gabriel Mann and Showtime’s Emmywinning “Shameless” starring William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum and
Justin Chatwin.
For two seasons, Eisler – a Czech-born, English-raised composer
and multi-instrumentalist – has made “Revenge” into a musicallydriven show. And as a conductor, he and a 50-piece orchestra
bring his work to life. His dedication to finding the right melody for
“Revenge” hasn’t been ignored. Variety described his music as
"smoky, elaborate film noir-inspired compositions", while Beatweek
Magazine praised Eisler for making “beautiful music” that
“…almost acts as another character further enveloping the
audience in its grasp.”
Eisler is also now scoring “Growing Up and Other Lies,” an indie
film starring Adam Brody and Amber Tamblyn. Eisler’s other film
and television credits include songwriting for NBC’s “ER,”
Lionsgate’s “My Best Friend's Girl,” NBC’s “Studio 60 on the Sunset
Strip,” Universal Studio’s “This Revolution,” and FX’s “Thief".
Over the years, Eisler’s past projects have garnered critical
acclaim on the film festival circuit. He won Best Film Score for his
work on Robbie Pickering’s “Natural Selection” at the 2011 SXSW
Film Festival. The film was the most decorated of the festival, also
winning the Grand Jury and Audience Awards.

Fil Eisler Biography
composer
In 2008, Eisler was among up-and-coming composers invited to the
Sundance Film Composer's Lab in Utah. And at the 2011 Sundance
Film Festival, Eisler composed the music for the Inuit-themed thriller
“On the Ice,” which won the Crystal Bear Award at the Berlin
International Film Festival. He also scored the Sundance-backed
documentary “Whatever It Takes,” and Jonathan van Tulleken's
BAFTA nominated thriller “Off Season.” In addition, a collection of
Eisler’s works were performed live at the opening night of the 2010
festival.
Meanwhile, Eisler also wrote the music for cult/film festival favorite
“Humboldt County,” and the score to “The Hammer,” a true story
based on the inspiring life of deaf UFC fighter Matt Hamill.
Eisler started his career as a touring musician, and he has traveled,
recorded and written with artists, producers and composers as
diverse as Robbie Williams, Ryan Adams, Marco Beltrami, Dave
Stewart, Imogen Heap, Jesse Malin, Kim Caldwell, Kylie Minogue,
Brian May, Holly Johnson, and many others.
Eisler’s song "Superblind" appears on Williams’ multi-platinum album
Reality Killed the Video Star, which was produced by Trevor Horn
and based on Eisler's original production and orchestral
arrangement.
Among his other achievements, Eisler was selected for the BMI
conducting fellowship under the tutelage of Lucas Richman in 2009,
and he has also studied conducting for film with Eimear Noone at
UCLA.
