Empire of Arkadia

Founded by Fotini Paraskakis, Empire of Arkadia is a media company that aims bridge between Asian-inspired content and international success. Our business • We are a next-generation entertainment company anchored in the Asia Pacific rim. Asia exudes modernity and builds the future in many areas, content is still very much a conservative game. Although we will all be familiar with Squid Game and perceive it as cutting edge, the reality is that most creators are still giving up all rights to their creativity in a system that harks back to 1940s Hollywood. We are building a creator eco-system that connects the best talents directly to global platforms and unleashes that young talent from the constraints of a traditional studio model. We will be the first to do this. • Our focus is on talents and unique stories across the key hotspots of Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China. SE Asia and India will be later-stage. We distinguish ourselves in finding the most promising creators and setting them free through a different way of working. We also have special expertise in helping them develop their stories in a way that makes this content succeed globally (not just locally): scripted edgy originals as well as documentaries and reality turned on its head. We are open to hybrid content across gaming and web 3.0. We aim to take full advantage of technology and recast compared to legacy studios. We will use AI and social listening tools to understand global audience trends deeply, thus driving Asian best practices in social marketing to engage prospective fans more effectively. • Asian content is having its moment for the first time in modern history. The demand for edgy, Asian-inspired originals is very strong, and all global platforms are keen on diversifying. We aim to empower creators to build this future of entertainment, inspire and grow a modern eco-system - where creativity reigns freely.
