Composed of reenactments, CGI, archival footage and expert interviews, Phantom Signals marks Go Button Media’s second project with Science Channel and its first with Super Channel.
“It’s not just space or sea or ocean or underground or earthquakes or radio, it’s just all realms of science and physics on this planet and in the universe, with all the mysteries and unknowns attached to that. Go Button is excited about expanding its slate of genres, and Phantom Signals plays a really key part in entering the world of science shows, especially with international appeal. We’re excited to see where this show will sell internationally. We have a lot of confidence in that. In addition to that, it’s opened a lot of doors with many broadcasters for new projects that we have in development right now.” – Daniel Oron
