Swiss director.
Hollywood feature debut.
Engineering brain.
Remo Pini is a multilingual Swiss director and producer based near Zurich. He came to film from finance and engineering — an MBA, a BSc, and a track record running companies and international teams — and entered the industry in 2010 with the goal of making feature films.
Since then he has directed and line-produced over a dozen short films, several at international festivals, and made his feature directorial debut in 2019 with The Nightmare House, a Hollywood thriller produced for The Asylum and distributed worldwide as a TV movie.
Through Purple Mountain — Swiss Service Productions (co-run with Christos Dervenis) and his own Gray Eminence Productions, Remo line-produces, service-produces and co-produces internationally — recent credits include La Chimera (with Josh O’Connor; WW gross $5.2M), South of Hope Street (Judd Nelson, Michael Madsen, William Baldwin) and three 2025 features (Don’t Let the Sun, Mother’s Baby, Behind the Glass). Box-office-tracked features he has worked on have grossed roughly $15M+ worldwide.
He works across thrillers, character drama, and historical / biographical material — and is drawn to stories with a moral spine and a twist beneath. The brief is always the same: get it made on time and on budget, with crews that want to be on the next one.
Available for feature and series direction — Switzerland and internationally. Currently attached to a feature in development. New projects considered.
