AWARD WINNING PRODUCERS WITH A PASSION FOR STORYTELLING

From Zimbabwe to New England, to the Great Lakes and Florida, Acadia Pictures documents people, places, and cultures.  Since 1995 our work has focused on non-fiction media, educational and corporate programming.  Some of our films are self-produced, some are sponsored, and some are created as works-for-hire.  But whenever we discover a story that catches our imagination, we’re all in.

DOCUMENTARIES THAT FOCUS ON CULTURE, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND HISTORY

For over 25 years Acadia Pictures has been telling the stories of the world around us.  We’ve explored the origins of black velvet art, profiled the American family in crisis, examined the birth of the suburban utopia, and listened to the forgotten men who live in the shadows of Detroit’s underground economy.  Our philosophy is simple—go out and film and listen and allow the story to unfold organically.
