ORLANDO, Fla., June 7, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Raven Moon Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB:RVNM) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Raven Animation, Inc., who recently signed former CBS "Survivor" Rob C to host its new video game and television program called "Amazon Challenge," will be conducting auditions in various cities to find the "Amazon Queen" who will be the centerpiece of the new video game and television program.
Former Survivor All-Star Rob Cesternino will be on hand at each of the preliminary auditions and will be available for radio and television interviews in each city along with Emmy Award-winning Executive Producers Joey & Bernadette DiFrancesco who created the video game and program. "I'm sure we will discover a number of women who will qualify and become finalists for the title 'Amazon Queen.' The auditions will be the first step and will literally give hundreds of women a chance at stardom," stated Joey DiFrancesco, Raven's CEO.
Once a broadcast network partner is found, Raven Moon Entertainment, Inc. will air the five-part one-hour programs called "The Search for the Amazon Queen" that could be aired during sweeps as a lead-in to the actual weekly series: three video-taped programs showing the behind-the-scenes and preliminary auditions and then two one-hour Live Prime-time Specials, A Semi-Final Event and a Final Event in which the viewers will vote and select the "Amazon Queen." Raven Moon executives who will be attending the New York Licensing Show next week will be offering one of the major television networks like CBS, FOX, NBC or ABC the opportunity to be a partner in "The Search for the Amazon Queen" programs, and the actual weekly network television series called "Amazon Challenge."
Raven Animation, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Raven Moon Entertainment, Inc., recently announced that it signed former CBS "Survivor" Rob C. to a long-term contract to be the host of a new 3-D Reality Video Game and Television program called "Amazon Challenge."
The video game and television program called "Amazon Challenge", designed for 'teens and young adults, was created and copyrighted in 1989 by Joey and Bernadette DiFrancesco way ahead of its time before CBS's "Survivor" or NBC's "Fear Factor". "Timing is everything" stated Co-creators Joey & Bernadette DiFrancesco, who have licensed all of the worldwide licensing and merchandising rights exclusively to JB Toys, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Raven Moon Entertainment, Inc., for ten years.
Rob C., whose real name is Rob Cesternino, was a contestant on one of the original "Survivor" programs, which was a major hit for the CBS television network, and recently appeared again on "Survivor All Stars". "I am excited about my new project and I will be doing many television and radio show interviews promoting it," stated Rob C.
"The video game and television rights to the new 'Amazon Challenge' properties are currently wide open and we will be evaluating all offers," stated DiFrancesco, who will be at the New York Licensing Show (Booth 4434) this week, June 8-10, with Gina D., star of "Gina D's Kids Club" and Rob C., star of "Amazon Challenge".
