The ORISONO Team.

Imagine yourself in a cozy film and sound studio in Lucerne. The walls are covered with pictures of film sets, notes, and sketches. Here sit Alexander Stratigenas and Timothy Ross, two friends and passionate filmmakers with an idea they can't let go of. They dream of telling stories that touch hearts and bring people together.

The passionate beginning: How it all began

The founding of ORISONO in 2019 was not easy. The two were still at the beginning, but they had a vision and a huge amount of passion. When the pandemic shook the world in 2020, they faced countless challenges. Instead of giving up, they sat down and discussed how they could overcome the difficult time. They decided to combine their passion for film and music and create a creative environment in which others could work with them.

More than just a name: The meaning behind ORISONO

The name ORISONO is composed of the Greek word "horizon", which stands for thinking beyond the horizon and discovering new paths, and "sono" from "sonare", which means to hear and to listen – an invitation to experience stories with open ears.

The first projects were small, yet meaningful films that told local stories. ORISONO aimed to capture the beauty of Central Switzerland while bringing the people of the region together. The response was overwhelming: the community supported the films, and many came to the premieres to see their neighbors and friends on screen.

Fresh Wind in the Team: New Impulses Since 2025

The year 2025 brought a breath of fresh air to the company when Mick Vuillemier and Sebastian Klinger joined the management. They brought new ideas and perspectives that further inspired the team. Together, they planned workshops and events where people could immerse themselves in the world of film. Whether big or small, everyone was welcome. Not only was filming done, but also discussions, laughter, and shared learning.

Film for Everyone: An Open Door for Every Story

The ORISONO philosophy is simple: Film is for everyone. The doors of Soundville Media Studios are open, and the people of the region are invited to share their stories. When you're old, you look back at the time of producing a film, and not. These values are at the heart of ORISONO.

The Big Leap: Partnerships on an International Scale

Collaborating with partners like Netflix and HBO Max was an exciting step. They are gaining a more international character.

Today, ORISONO is more than just a production company. It unites the worlds of film and music. People come together to tell their stories, and the ORISONO team is proud to bring those stories to life. Everyone is invited to be part of this journey, and together they strive to make the world a little better through film.
