An independent producer and distributor founded by Manuel Catteau more than 30 years ago, ZED is a key player in the audiovisual landscape, with a raft of major international broadcasters among its clients.
Producing around 40 films each year, and regularly awarded at international festivals, ZED has built its reputation by crafting high-end, powerful stories that resonate with global audiences. History, science, nature, society, art and discovery are among the narrative territories explored with both ambition and editorial rigor, in service of content with strong cultural and heritage value.
With a catalogue of more than 5,000 titles and a network of top-tier partners, ZED has established itself as a major distributor on the global market, actively contributing to the international reach of French content.
Driven by the belief that stories should travel across formats and platforms, ZED has gradually expanded beyond television into cinema, giant-screen productions, VR experiences, and a wide network of YouTube channels reaching several million viewers each month.
Regularly recognized by the industry (nominated five times among the 10 best French Producers of the Year, three times rewarded with the French Export Awards), and listed for seven years among the world's top 100 production companies (REASLCREEN GLOBAL 100), ZED positions itself as a global, dynamic and innovative company, committed to creating universal, high-end content that is deeply rooted in its time.
