about the jury

As an award-winning music supervisor and composer, Rachel Tauwnaar creates scores that elicit profound emotional resonance. With a preference for juxtaposition – and a habit of immersing herself in details – Tauwnaar excels in using music to tell stories, viewing life as a perpetual coming-of-age film.

She has supervised the music for global campaigns of esteemed brands such as NikeVolkswagen, G-StarTommy Hilfiger and Karl Lagerfeld. She co-composed G-Star RAW – The Rhythm of Denim which was recognized as the most awarded commercial of 2021 in the music category for original composition in advertising.

Last year, Tauwnaar assumed the role of Music Director at Ambassadors Berlin, a newly established boutique craft studio known for its expertise in high-end VFX, CG and music composition. Beyond her directorial duties, Tauwnaar musical background includes singing, songwriting and playing classical violin. She also enjoys writing dark wave and moody alt-pop songs in her leisure time.
