Custom software for the corners of production nobody builds for.
Manet Productions is a small studio in Los Angeles. We design and build tools for niche production workflows, and make a few products of our own.
Two kinds of work
Most of what we build is made to order for a specific team. Some of it we make for ourselves, then share with everyone.
Tools for production teams
Production runs on workflows that off-the-shelf software was never built for, so they end up living in spreadsheets and inboxes. We turn them into tools.
- Pipeline trackersLive status boards for scripts, cuts and deliverables, with overdue flags built in.
- Scheduling modelsForecasts that weigh the variables a spreadsheet can’t keep track of.
- Reporting and paperworkContract, guarantee and deal memo reporting that assembles itself.
- Internal systemsThe connective tissue between the tools your team already uses.
Our own apps
The same care, pointed at things we want to exist. The first one is for the golf course.
A mindful app for the course, in development for iPhone.
How a project goes
Sit with the team
We start where the work happens and learn the workflow, including its workarounds, before writing any code.
Ship something usable, early
A working version goes into your team’s hands quickly, then gets better from real use rather than guesses.
Stay on it
Productions change season to season. We maintain what we build so the tool keeps up.
