Behind ENSHI Music Stories

"Where music becomes cinema"

ENSHI Music Stories is a music storytelling studio founded by independent film and music scene entrepreneur Remy Steijger, developing cinematic productions at the intersection of music, film, culture and brands.

He is the founder and former CEO of production company Captains, where he spent over a decade producing films and series for platforms such as Videoland and HBO Max, reaching millions of viewers worldwide.

ENSHI Music Stories stands out through direct access to artists, a strong international network, and the ability to turn ideas into reality, from concept to financing, production and distribution. Recent projects include the impact film HER SOUND and Pretpark Hennie, which premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and was later broadcast nationally by BNNVARA. His audio documentary Betaalde Liefde became the most-listened Storytel title in the Netherlands and received a nomination for the Storytel Original Award.

It reflects a clear belief: creating moments where people truly shine, on stage, on screen, or behind the scenes.
