Brand properties

General info :
Umedia (formerly stylized uMedia) is the brand name of an international film group, Umedia Group SRL, based in Brussels, with offices in London, Paris, Los Angeles, and Vancouver.
Several related companies are housed on the same Louizalaan 235 address in Elsene, like Umedia Production Services SPRL, Umedia Visual Effects SA, Umedia Production NV and Umedia SA.

Nadia Khamlichi, Adrian Politowski and Jeremy Burdek created the Motion Investment Group SPRL and the Cinepartners Belgium One SPRL in 2004 in Brussels. They set up the offices in the basement rooms of one of their friends' grandmothers. Their plan was to set up a fund using Belgium's tax shelter provisions for visiting productions.

In 2010, the group rebranded as uMedia, with business divisions of "uFund (fundraising), uFilm (production and investment), uDream (distribution) and uFX (visual effects)."
Motion Investment Group SPRL was renamed to uFund SPRL in 2011 and to uFund SA in 2016.
Cinepartners Belgium One SPRL was renamed to Infinity Films SPRL in 2010, to Udream Films SPRL in that same year, Umedia Distribution SPRL in 2014 and Umedia Production Services SPRL in 2015.

In 2011, its website reported it had staffed 75 employees, co-produced and financed 120 films, raised and invested 156 million euros. One of the film group's most notable financing at that time was for the 2011 film The Artist.

In 2013, Umedia expanded its operations to Los Angeles. In 2014, Burdek resigned. In 2016, Umedia set up an office in Vancouver.

In 2019, Khamlichi and Politowski co-founded and launched the production company Align Pictures, where Politowski plans to focus on producing fewer films but have more involvement in them. Politowski resigned from his position as co-CEO of the uMedia, leaving Khamlichi to remain as CEO.
In 2020, Politowski sold his remaining stake in uMedia and Khamlichi resigned as co-CEO. Bastien Sirodot, who had served as chief operating officer, became CEO. Laurent Jacobs, who joined Umedia as the chief financial officer in 2019, became co-CEO with Sirodot.
