Life
The business graduate turned to the film business in 1969. He initially devoted himself as a freelance producer to artistically influenced auteur films . His most important engagement during this time was the film Hannibal (1972) by Xavier Koller , in which he was involved as a co-producer.
After its financial failure, Stoeckli tried film comedies such as Ein Käfer auf Extratour (1973), where he worked as a production manager. At the age of thirty he met the producer Erwin C. Dietrich in 1975 and was employed by him. In a short time, Stoeckli Dietrichs became a specialist in business in the Anglo-Saxon region.
When he left Dietrich in 1977, he already owned his own production company, Filminvest AG, and his own cinema operating company, East Cinemas AG. He established a business partnership with Beate Uhse and got into the hardcore business at the best possible time , something Dietrich always shied away from. He positioned himself with the companies Mascotte and Imperial, later he made erotic media AG in Baar the largest content provider and rights dealer in Europe.
To do this, he ran an extensive porn cinema chain in Switzerland . Through one of these cinemas, the Walche cinema, he played a major role in founding the renowned Xenix club cinema . In 2007 he opened the Arena multiplex cinema in Zurich , which is the largest in Switzerland with 18 halls and a total of 2560 seats.
