Antico produced and is in post on the documentary film, “FAITH”. FAITH brings a never been seen before glimpse into the hearts and souls of the who’s who of fighters and other extraordinary beings, boundlessly digging into the psychological and spiritual aspect of these warriors who achieved greatness and often started out seeking the shelter of the streets and the ring, suffering from abuse, poverty and crime with nothing but a dream. FAITH is believing in something and not having the data to know how you’re going to get there.

Antico and Jonathan Saw (son of famed band leader Artie Shaw) created the docu-series, “One

Sacred Planet,” The series brings to light the spirituality and science of the Earth’s ecosystem

Antico’s latest project is the documentary film, “The Paradigm of Money” Antico directed with

Sean Stone producing. The Big Short on steroids, The Paradigm of Money goes deep into the

infrastructure of the global financial system & exposes corrupted policies, creating a path for

money to be transferred from the middle class to the one percent.

Antico produced the Lionsgate/Netflix documentary released on November 19, 2019, Ronda

Rousey Story - “Through my Fathers Eyes”, a story about former Olympic judo bronze medalist

and current female MMA Strikeforce and former UFC champion, Ronda “Rowdy” Rousey. Antico

and his producing team, followed Rousey for 6 years from her career as an amateur when she was

working three jobs to stay alive, showing up late or missing training sessions due to a lack of funds

for gasoline to her current position as the first ever women to be accepted into the UFC.

Peter Antico loves stories that celebrate the human condition. In the vein of “Shine & My Left

Foot”, A War Within penned by Antico does just that. Inspired by Antico’s own personal journey

of a man born with a neurological disorder, deals with the frustrations and challenges he faced as

a child to the trials of breaking into show business as a professional stuntman while learning to

relate to the love of his life through realizing that compassion and understanding must be given if

one wishes to receive it. Actor/Director, Ron Yuan (Blade of the 47 Ronan, is Universal/Netflix’s

3rd highest rated film, & Step-Up China, for Lionsgate), who was immediately taken by Antico’s

script about a man’s struggle of acceptance and love will helm the film. Antico will produce. This

story was championed by the late, great Harry Dean Stanton, with whom Pete had many inspiring

philosophical conversations. “It’s all pre planned, stay out of the way, surrender and let it happen.”
