Thomas Reichlin

Thomas Reichlin is an emerging Swiss producer. He studied at the Haute École d'Art et de Design in Geneva and worked as a production assistant, accompanying the development of several short and feature films. In 2018, he co-directed and co-produced his first short film, Lantsky Papa's Stolen Ox (Grand Prix – Entrevues Belfort, Special Mention – Documenta Madrid). This experience confirmed his taste for the cooperative and transnational dimension of producing. In 2019, he fully joined Alva Film as producer and partner.
