Tentara Digital Studios, Theattic.Tv Join Forces to Create Major Entertainment, Branding Solutions

St. Cloud, Fla. --- Tentara Digital Studios, based in St. Cloud, and TheAttic.tv, based at Celebration, have joined forces to create major international entertainment and branding solutions that are seen by millions of viewers worldwide. The next step, according to Ricardo Bernardino, chief executive officer and art director at Tentara Digital Studios, is the presentation of a feature-length fantasy film concept Bernardini has worked on for more than a decade. “Angal Tentara is an action-packed story about a girl from an ancient civilization who is reborn in present times. Surrounded by mysteries, signs, angels and demons, her journey takes her through seven fatal trials that will prove that she is worthy of fulfilling her destiny,” Bernardini said. Bernardini said Tentara and TheAttic.tv are rebranding the Angal Tentara project with a more Hollywood-friendly cinematographic approach that blends real images with hyperrealistic photo compositions to pitch the concept to potential investors, film producers, movie-based networks, and video game creators. “Our alliance with TheAttic.tv is critical to this phase of our production,” Bernardini said. “Their professional network combines all the elements we need to bring together to create this franchise,” he said. Tentara and TheAttic.tv have already joined forces to produce some major achievements, Bernardini said. The two companies created a powerful promotional video for HBO Latin America to introduce Game of Thrones to its Spanish-speaking audience. Tentara Digital Studios also teamed with TheAttic.tv in a Technomedia Production to create a highly sophisticated 3D Building Projection for the Puerto Rico office of tourism at Cuartel de Ballajá, in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. “I have been waiting for digital technology to reach the point where we can produce Angal Tentara on a multi-media platform that will include the video, film and gaming audiences and our alliance with TheAttic.tv gives us that reach,” Bernardini said. “We are hopeful that our strategic partnership will open even more doors in the future,” Bernardini added. Tentara Digital Studios is a client company of the UCF Business Incubation Program in St. Cloud.
