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 way, surrender and let it happen.”
