The Studios
Manex made its home in spaces with history of their own — a decommissioned naval air station on San Francisco Bay, and a storied steelworks on the Delaware River.
After the base was decommissioned in 1997, Manex Entertainment made the former Naval Air Station on Alameda Island its primary base of operations. The Navy's vast hangars and industrial buildings on San Francisco Bay became working soundstages and effects facilities — it was here, across the bay from San Francisco, that the groundbreaking visual effects of The Matrix were produced.
On the East Coast, Manex took on the former Roebling Steel plant — the works whose wire rope built the Brooklyn Bridge. Beneath its landmark water tower, the historic brick-and-steel complex offered the bones of a working film studio: vast open floors, soaring ceilings, and the kind of character no soundstage built today can replicate.
