About
An independent studio
Manifestudio is founded and run by Ahmet Terzi in Istanbul.
What we are building
A documentary production engine. It turns a researched script into a finished explainer documentary, planned scene by scene in a scene manifest: what is on screen, how long it stays, where it comes from and whether we may use it.
The engine is in development. A full draft of the first episode exists, and the engine is for our own films for now. The demo shows a read-only snapshot of that draft as example data.
How we work
A missing source is shown as missing and is never counted as a pass. Software proposes and records; a person approves what is published, and the approval is kept. Where rights are unclear, we say so and use our own material instead.
Built with Claude
We write and review our code with Claude Code and use Claude for research and drafting. Everything it produces is checked by us.
