Our Projects

Art Filled Myth and Adventure

Set in an alternative now, Cyclopes From the Ether tells the tale of the mythic Cyclopes and humanity’s quest to reconnect with their ancient legacy. Season 1 begins with the Terran organization known as CSSI and its centuries-old mission to find the lost race of enigmatic one-eyed giants. Along the way, prophecies are unveiled, aliens are encountered, and shadowy underworlds unfold. It all foretells the awakening of long-dormant ancient powers, as an intrepid CSSI task force charts a new destiny for humankind.
‍
We've been developing Cyclopes From the Ether and its spin-offs since 2020. Future collabs with established names in film, television, gaming, graphic novels and publishing are already in motion, all focused on bringing our stories to the widest possible audience.

Our Vision

The Story is the Thing

Blind Harpy is updating the storytelling craft for modern media and technology. From tried and tested forms like video games, board games, and comics to innovative delivery channels like immersive ARGs — we aim to be at the cutting edge. Modern technology has opened the door to incredible new avenues for funding and distributing creative works. At Blind Harpy Studios we’ve embraced the future without losing sight of our core values. We’re channel-agnostic and always let the needs of the story choose the medium.

Solid Ground, Creative Heights

As a creator-owned studio, Blind Harpy has the freedom to shape its own content and determine its own future. Independence is the fuel that makes us flourish, combined with the loyal support of our growing creative community.

Future Adventures

Our Realm is Expanding

The world is entering a new era of digital-first entertainment, and Blind Harpy aims to be at the cutting edge. Our ambition is to embolden like-minded creatives and expand our operations to become a leading force in collaborative media publishing. By championing direct connection between creators and their audiences, we make sure nothing stands in the way of fans and the stories they love. As we partner with fellow storytellers to bring their brilliant ideas to life, Blind Harpy will continue to publish original and thrilling media - from Cyclopes and beyond.

Jennie M. Carlson

Chief Creative Officer

Jennie leads creative strategy with a deep love for storytelling - especially the kind that’s strange, hilarious, or just left of normal. Creative chaos is a strength, and Jennie believes humor is often the best way to say something serious.

As Chief Creative Officer, Jennie shapes the creative vision of BHS, making sure every project stands out with originality and purpose. By tracking trends in media and entertainment, Jennie translates what’s next into bold, engaging experiences built for digital-first audiences.

Creative development at BHS is a hands-on process, and Jennie is at the center of it - from scripting and concept art to worldbuilding and direction.

Pen, paper, paintbrush, or pixel — for us the craft is the THING. That’s why we’ve assembled an amazing roster of traditional and digital artists to help us realize the Blind Harpy vision.
