Erwin Stoff, a founding partner of 3 Arts, was born in Romania and moved to the United States in his teens. After learning how to speak English, he received his undergraduate degree from The University of California and then graduate degrees in theatre from the University of Washington.

With his degrees in hand, he taught at the University level for two years. He then left academia and began working in professional theatre. After producing a play in Los Angeles and being exposed to the TV and movie business, Erwin started a management/production company, which eventually grew into 3 Arts.

After a successful career as a talent manager, he eventually turned his attention to producing and became a highly prolific film producer, under the 3 Arts banner. Some of the films he produced were Devil’s Advocate, The Matrix, Edge of Tomorrow, 13 Hours, Unbroken and Call of the Wild, among others. 

He recently added television production to his portfolio of accomplishments, producing such shows as The Serpent Queen, Julia and Blue Eye Samurai.  He proudly continues his partnership in 3 Arts.
