Ubisoft has created its own film division called Ubisoft Motion Pictures which will create shows and films based on its games. The five brothers of the Guillemot family founded Ubisoft as a computer game publisher in March 1986 in France . The name is a play on words, "Ubi" meaning "where" in Latin -- thus, UbiSoft is 'Softwhere' or 'Software'. Yves Guillemot soon made deals with Electronic Arts, Sierra On-Line, and MicroProse to distribute their games in France.
