  • JOE KRAEMER Composer
    JOE KRAEMER Composer Joe Kraemer has worked with various reputable filmmakers including JJ Abrams, Channing Tatum, John Sayles, Tom Cruise, Georgia Tennant & Douglas Trumbull. Joe’s music can be heard in well-known feature films including Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, The Way of the Gun and TV shows including the Romanian cop satire Comrade Detective (TV Series) directed by Rhys Thomas for A24 on Amazon Prime and the supernatural Creeped Out (TV Series) co-produced by BBC & DHX Media. Most recently he wrote the music to the dramatic thriller The Man Who Killed Hitler & Then Bigfoot directed by Robert Krzykowski and starring Sam Elliott, released in theaters February 8th, 2019. Joe has been scoring films since the age of 15, when he composed the soundtrack for high school classmate Scott Storm’s The Chiming Hour, a feature-length indie shot on Super 8 in 1986. It was during this time that he first met a young writer named Christopher McQuarrie, a meeting that would lead to three career-defining projects for Kraemer, The Way of the Gun, Jack Reacher, and the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Kraemer would leave high school behind to attend the renowned Berklee School of Music in Boston to study Film Composing. Kraemer’s first real ‘industry’ gig was scoring the NBC/Warner Brothers pilot The Underworld, written and produced by Christopher McQuarrie, shortly following McQuarrie’s Oscar win for The Usual Suspects. Though the series was not picked up, the pilot was repurposed as a TV movie, where it has gained a small, cult following.
