At Zaring/Cioffi Entertainment, Inc., our mission is to produce high-quality films that entertain, inspire, and challenge audiences. We strive to tell stories that make a positive impact on the world.
ZCE is building a slate of commercially disciplined films united by a common creative philosophy. Each project explores different characters, genres, and settings, but all reflect the company's belief that emotionally authentic storytelling creates lasting audience connections.

Zaring/Cioffi Entertainment, Inc. (ZCE) is a Los Angeles–based production company – founded by producers John Zaring and Bianca Cioffi – focused on character-driven stories with strong emotional grounding and commercial discipline.
In 2024, Charles Vignola, the longtime head of development for Jerry Bruckheimer Films, joined ZCE as a partner.

Every production company eventually develops an identity.
Some become known for spectacle. Others for comedy, horror, or action.
Zaring/Cioffi Entertainment is building its identity around something different: emotionally authentic stories about ordinary people confronting extraordinary moments with courage, resilience, and hope.
We call this "The ZCE Way".

ZCE has three sub-$5M feature films slated for production over the next year, beginning with The Curmudgeon, starring Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) for director John Putch, the musical drama The Very Thought of You starring Joanna “JoJo” Levesque and Mike Colter with a score by jazz legend Branford Marsalis; and Finding Gino, directed by Riker Lynch with rock legend Gino Vannelli attached as composer and performer.
