ABOUT THE COMPANY

About Blind Harpy Studios 
Blind Harpy Studios (BHS) is a multimedia entertainment business crafting humorous science-fiction and fantasy stories for adults, distributed via real world and digital channels. The studio’s debut project is Cyclopes From the Ether (CFTE). CFTE is a sci-fi franchise encompassing a six-issue comic book series, a tabletop board game and a immersive role-playing experience. Access to CFTE content is available to anyone who purchases a Cyclopes From the Ether S:1 Season Pass.
Company History 
Based in NYC, Blind Harpy was launched in 2021 by Tony E. Ricigliano and Jennie M. Carlson. Tony is the CEO and heads the commercial and technical side of Blind Harpy. Jennie is the CCO and leads the art, story and creative vision within the studio. Blind Harpy’s debut project, Cyclopes From the Ether, is set for release in 2025. Season 1 begins with the Terran organization known as the Cyclopean Search and Symbiosis Initiative (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.
Product Roadmap
Coming next from Blind Harpy will be four new seasons of Cyclopes From the Ether, with content ranging from an animated series, video games, traditional table-top board games, and more.
