AI Entertainment IP
Oral & Co develops original animated series and documentary properties for international platforms and festivals. We own the IP. We write the scripts. We produce through an AI-first pipeline — visual development, animation, voice, and score — that delivers cinematic quality at independent scale.
FEATURED PROJECT
La Principessa Ribelle
La Principessa Ribelle is our flagship AI-hybrid six-part animated documentary limited series based on Zeynep Oral’s book. Using AI for scripting, episode structuring and painterly 2D visual development, we tell the story of Cristina Trivulzio Belgiojoso — Italian revolutionary whose life bridged Milan, Paris and the mountains of Anatolia — with a distinctive Turkish-Italian historical perspective. Adaptation rights granted to Emre and Kerem Oral.
Positioned for international platforms and festivals, this project demonstrates our model: AI accelerates creation while we retain rights and structure co-production deals that deliver ownership or revenue share in the final digital series.
THE CHARACTERS Real people. Extraordinary lives.
Cristina Trivulzio Belgiojoso
PROTAGONIST · 1808–1871
The richest heiress in Italy. Revolutionary. Salon hostess. Newspaper founder. Field nurse. Commander. Farmer. Writer. She was all of these — in one life..
Prince Emilio Belgiojoso
HUSBAND · MILAN 1824
Handsome, reckless, unfaithful — and a genuine patriot. Their marriage was a contradiction that lasted a lifetime. He is the mirror that explains her choices.
Margaret Fuller
AMERICAN JOURNALIST · ROME 1849
"I never knew what heroism was before I saw this woman." America's first great female journalist, writing from the revolutionary hospitals of Rome.
Franz Liszt
PARIS · MARCH 31, 1837
The most famous piano duel in history took place in Cristina's salon. Her verdict — that Liszt was unique — is still quoted in musicology today..
WHY US?
The story that only we can tell
- Sky Arte produced a documentary about Cristina in 2021. They gave her Anatolian years a few minutes — because no source existed in accessible form.
- Zeynep Oral's book changed that. Her decade of research into Cristina's Ottoman years — cross-referencing Italian archives, Ottoman land records, and Ca' Foscari University scholarship — is the only comprehensive source on this period. She has granted adaptation rights to her sons Emre and Kerem Oral.
- Netflix Italy released The Leopard in March 2025, a Risorgimento drama that became its most anticipated Italian original of the year.
- La Legge di Lidia Poet proved that a female Italian historical lead from the 19th century is a global streaming proposition. La Principessa Ribelle sits at the intersection of both trends — and adds the Ottoman chapter that no other production has.
