WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., December 23, 2020 (Newswire.com) – Quentasia Studios announced today that it has launched “The Quentasia Podcast”. The podcast is part of the company’s efforts to build a community of creatives of color and LGBTQIA+. Founder and CEO, Gregory Q. Jenkins stated, “we want to create a safe space for discussion on how we can create our own narratives.” Podcast episodes will focus on the need for balanced and accurate representation of underrepresented communities and how that relates to social change.
The podcast will feature interviews with the Studio’s leadership team, media and entertainment personalities, and those engaged in the fight for social justice.
The Studio also announced that is has acquired the global rights to the short film, “HANN” by Runar Thor. Runar appears on the second episode of the show and talks about his inspiration for the short film and joins in the discussion on improving how the LGBTQIA+ community is portrayed.
The company will invest heavily in acquiring short films. The rationale: Content makers from underrepresented communities often do not have access to financing to produce feature films or other longer works. By focusing on shorter works, Quentasia hopes to bring a much needed spotlight on emerging diverse content creators.
The demand for authentic diverse content is high, but can smaller independent players breakthrough in a crowded market? The company believes it can and is investing in analytics to help achieve its goals. Quentasia Studios relies on analytics to help its diverse content find an audience. Jenkins remarked, “I want to stress that, from our view, analytics are not used to tell us who we should cast or what content we should make or support. Analytics cannot predict onscreen chemistry. Content makers should focus on making great content. Once we have decided to support a project, Quentasia uses analytics to find audiences that will have an affinity to the content.”

Quentasia Studios, inc. Announces New Web Series – ‘The Null Hypothesis’
NEWS PROVIDED BY QUENTASIA STUDIOS, INC., Jan 03, 2019, 10:00 ET
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Jan. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Quentasia Studios, Inc. and show creator Gregory Q. Jenkins announced the cast and launch of his new web series “The Null Hypothesis.” The series premiered on the internet on Dec. 23. The show is about four co-workers (Kevin Patterson, Cassandra Nelson, Trinity Taylor, and Sarah Estanza) who leave their jobs at an up-and-coming data analysis firm to start their own.
Darius McCall plays the role of Kevin Patterson. Kevin is a smart, up-and-coming data scientist and one of the data geeks of the firm. He’s focused on his education and career thus far in his life but feels like something is missing: he doesn’t have a legacy. Kevin will discover that people must pay attention to their entire life not just their business aspirations.
An Alabama native, Darius has appeared in “The Sound of Darkness” and “The Shattered Mind.”
Breton Tyner-Bryan plays the role of Cassandra Nelson. Cassandra is a no-nonsense, straightforward woman who doesn’t waste time with small talk. She likes to get straight to the point. Despite her rough edges, Cassandra is well-liked and respected.
If Breton looks familiar, people may have seen her in roles on shows such as HBO’s “The Nick,” ABC’s “Manhattan Love Story” or they may have caught her in a performance of the “Breton Follies.” In addition to being an amazing actress, Breton is an accomplished choreographer and dancer.
Sarah Estanza is played by Natassha Amalia. Sarah is the other major data geek of the firm, but she is not socially awkward. She’s brilliant, composed and understated until someone crosses her. That’s when she shows her fire.
After studying film and TV in Melbourne, Australia, Natassha decided to move to New York and study Method Acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. She has last been seen on stage in “Time Stands Still” (Sarah). She’s also a blues and jazz singer on the side.
Kele Mogotsi inhabits the character of Trinity Taylor. Trinity Taylor is a smart, savvy, businesswoman who is focused on success. She thinks she is a risk taker but quickly finds out just how risky being an entrepreneur can be.
Kele Mogotsi is an actress and producer, known for “The Last of Us: Part III” (2014), “Thru” (2013) and “Last Call” (2016).
The series will be different in that it is not centered around the usual professions that are the staple of modern-day television. While the show is a comedy, it will not shy away from tackling issues such as interracial dating, social justice, and workplace equality.
“The Null Hypothesis” can be seen on YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook.
