ZMI Arcadia is an independent production and rights management company with operations in both the US and UK, specializing in high-quality documentaries, independent films, music production and releases, and arts & culture programming. With a strong track record in international co-productions, we are committed to producing compelling content across both music and film.

​

We work with producers, major media groups, broadcasters, institutions, estates and archives to deliver projects that are engaging, historically rich, with best-in-class artistic integrity.  As a fully independent company, we retain creative control while upholding the highest industry standards—making us a trusted partner for impactful, thought-provoking storytelling.

​

Our story began in 2014 with the launch of Arcadia Media & Entertainment, a music publishing fund focused on acquiring and producing crossover recordings. In partnership with Universal Music Group, Arcadia built a diverse catalog spanning urban, jazz, crossover, and alternative rock.

​

In 2020, UK-based Zermatt Media Investments—now operating as ZMI Rights Management—acquired Arcadia, rebranding it as ZMI Arcadia and expanding into documentary and film production. Today, ZMI Arcadia manages a dynamic portfolio of film, audio, literary, and music rights, producing original content that connects global audiences with untold stories, nature, history, and the arts.
