Popular “Dungeons and Dragons” gaming personalities Satine Phoenix and Stefan Pokorny announced via social media that they are teaming up as the hosts of a new documentary travel show currently in production. The show, entitled “DESTINATION FANTASTIC,” will take viewers on an amazing odyssey across the globe, as they seek out inspiration for their own personal worlds of art, fantasy and storytelling. The show is created by award winning filmmaker Josh Bishop and produced by Ron Harbin.
DESTINATION FANTASTIC is an independent documentary travel show that will follow the hosts on a whimsical journey each episode as they explore all things fantastical. Castles, dungeons, labyrinths, mythological creatures, fantasy games, sacred grounds, art, literature, music and history are all par for the course. Along the way, celebrities, experts and fanatics will help showcase the history and details of each new location and subject.
Satine and Stefan will be looking for inspiration for their future projects, as well as learning about what has inspired myths, folklore, and storytelling since the beginning of civilization – much like the infamous game itself.
The pilot episode will feature the hosts exploring Iceland where they do everything from seeking out the Codex Regius (the earliest known written history of the Norse mythological canon), to exploring volcanoes and glaciers where they see the impact of the rapidly changing global climate on modern-day Iceland first hand. Satine and Stefan will uncover the root of legends and storytelling and impart their discoveries into the imaginations of their viewers. Future episodes will encompass a number of enchanted locales specifically chosen by the hosts.
Satine and Stefan will be launching a kickstarter campaign on July 9th to engage fans to join them in building this groundbreaking show. As of now, the launch location is not yet disclosed. There will be weekly updates from the dynamic pair giving followers more information on DESTINATION FANTASTIC.
“I am so excited about DESTINATION FANTASTIC,” states Satine. “Partnering with Stefan on this journey across the globe and bringing our viewers to new spaces and historic locales is going to be great. And, having our D&D community involved will be incredible.”
“I have always been a fan of Satine,” says Stefan. “And now traveling around the world with her and bringing our fans with us to these amazing places will be mind-blowing. We can’t wait to share this with our D&D players and with everyone. It’s going to be fantastic!”
“Stefan and Satine are truly unique individuals and I’m so inspired by both of them,” says show creator Josh Bishop. “Exploring the world with them and getting to bring this vision to all of you is literally a dream come true.”
