About

The Swiss Syndicate: Born Swiss. Raised American.

The Swiss Syndicate is a family of creatives. We are filmmakers, photographers, musicians, writers producers, and traditional fine artist. United by blood and by the passion to create. Our family extends beyond bloodlines and embraces like minded creative brothers and sisters in films, photos, music, books and art. These fragile creations that grow strong and powerful when nurtured and encouraged. Our code of honor is to respect the creative vision and to protect the idea. To never say “No”. To always consider the impossible as a challenge. We are fundamentally Swiss and adventurously American. We think and just do it.

Our client list is very select. Swiss Deluxe Hotels, Swisscom, Swiss Education Group or Suisse Majestic Hotel. They have teamed up with The Swiss Syndicate to boost their image and make sales with our celebrated films, our photos and our written words.

But we also work for ourselves to offer the world original works of art. Projects like a feature length documentary. A twenty track collaborative album, with artists from near and far. Live music. Photo journalism and art expos. Short films. Photo books and novels. Music videos and digital experimentation. We take on special projects that are dear to us to help them flourish and nourish our creative hunger and ambitions.

We’ve gone as far as to work with big international stars such as Quincy Jones and Nile Rodgers. The latter who is the subject of our most ambitious project to date. A feature length documentary on the legendary genius and his band Chic who were behind huge stars like Madonna or David Bowie, and mega hits such as Le Freak, We Are Family or Upside Down.

We’ll take on the big and the small. The Famous and unknown. We travel and we dare to create. Because our creativity knows no boundaries and our passion is fearless.

We are The Swiss Syndicate.
