# Anima Studios

> A video production agency in Milan with deep AI expertise. We are a team you
> hire, not a tool you licence: commercials for big brands, TV series, films and
> original IP, produced end to end. We work for clients anywhere in the world;
> our main markets today are Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Anima Studios is run by four founders with a team of nine in Milan. Sound is made
in house. The agency holds three 2025 festival selections and built its own
production platform, Forge. Work is cleared for broadcast. Taste and craft come
first; AI is the tool that lets a small team deliver at the scale of big brands.

## What we make

- Commercials and brand films for big brands and agencies
- TV series, films and original IP: series, short films and music videos we write and produce ourselves
- Animation, AI CGI and visual effects, including set extensions inside live footage
- Sound design and music, produced in house
