BAURU, SãO PAULO, BRAZIL, October 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bryan Stenler Studios, an independent AI-native entertainment and creative technology company founded in Brazil by filmmaker and electronic music producer Alex Viegas, is expanding its original entertainment ecosystem through new music releases, cinematic storytelling and a growing roster of virtual performers.

The October 2026 expansion follows the release of Luntherland, a dark melodic techno single launched October 1, and comes ahead of Worth the Climb, a cinematic pop release scheduled for October 16. Together, these projects reflect the studio's approach to connecting original music, digital characters and audiovisual storytelling for international audiences.

A SCIENCE-FI VISION EVOLVING INTO A TRANSMEDIA UNIVERSE

At the center of the studio's creative strategy is The Sower Universe, a science-fiction concept conceived by Viegas in the 1980s. Generative AI, virtual production and visual effects have enabled the filmmaker to develop this long-standing vision as an interconnected world of cinematic narratives, recurring characters, electronic music and original intellectual property.

The studio is building an expanding entertainment portfolio in which characters and stories can move between films, music videos, digital campaigns and international licensing collaborations.

BRYAN STENLER AND THE RISE OF ORIGINAL VIRTUAL TALENT

Bryan Stenler, the studio's flagship virtual actor and digital model, leads its roster of original synthetic performers. Designed with a distinct identity and recurring screen presence, Bryan features within the studio's cinematic productions and broader visual storytelling.

The character portfolio also includes Apollo Viera, Enzo Ravenwood, Liora Verdanne, Lunther Malakar, Valerius Veyr and Billy. Each is part of the studio's approach to creating recognizable entertainment properties with distinct personalities, narratives and creative applications.

MUSIC AS A GATEWAY TO THE CINEMATIC WORLD

Viegas' music catalog spans melodic techno, cinematic electronic music, EDM and pop, including Luntherland, Sick Humanity, Digital Alienation, Celestial Odyssey REMIX and In the Shadows.

Luntherland channels the darker mythology of the studio's characters into an electronic production created with Halloween and international dance floors in mind. Worth the Climb introduces a contrasting cinematic pop direction to the October release schedule.
