Phantasticus’ mission is to create seminal wildlife and adventure programming with a purpose. Phantasticus is the only production company that actively finances conservation work in exchange for filming rights and the ability to bring exposure to causes.

Phantasticus’ current and upcoming slate entertains and engages while educating and inspiring viewers about the world’s amazing ecosystems and vast range of animal species - many on the brink of extinction. Spanning all continents, programs will transport viewers to some of the most remote areas of the world, bringing Galante’s hands-on expertise, resources and technologies to expose and address pressing wildlife and environmental issues.  Upcoming projects include “Mysterious Creatures with Forrest Galante” launching on October 17th on Animal Planet and discovery+. Phantasticus also produced “Wetmarkets Exposed” on Viceland and “Mystery of the Black Demon Shark,” discovery+.
