About

I'm a filmmaker from St. Gallen. My biggest goal is simple — winning an Oscar. Everything you see here is part of that work.

THE NAME

Robin Lohnke, reversed and shortened, becomes LOHRO. It's been my handle since the early days and now it's the brand that holds all of this together — films, posters, workwear, the road.

THE BELIEF

Story always comes first. Everything else — gear, technology, locations, even my own ego — is a tool to shape that story. I believe films can be made by small, dedicated teams. With today's technology that's more exciting than ever. As I like to say: what a time to be alive.

Story always wins. Story always wins. Story always wins.

WHERE I COME FROM

St. Gallen, eastern Switzerland. Six years full-time self-employed as a filmmaker. Co-founded KOLLEKTIV OSKAR in 2019 with Simon Tolnai — the studio side of what I do, where the bigger commercial productions live. Lohro is the personal side: my films, my road, my drops.

WHAT I'M BUILDING

This site is one place for three things that used to be scattered across the internet. Films — the work itself, growing every year. A small but considered shop — workwear and posters and color tools built for filmmakers who care about craft. And the journey: Way to Oscar, the ongoing documentary series about what it actually takes.
