Phantom Digital Effects has consolidated its studios into a global creative collective called Phantom Media Group (PMG). This move follows the recent addition of Milk and Lola Post to the Group’s expanding roster, which already includes Tippett Studio, PhantomFX and Spectre Post. While united through their shared vision, each studio will retain its own approach and creative leadership, producing custom experiences for clients across film, episodic, commercial and immersive content worldwide.
The formation of PMG represents a major step in the collective’s growth since 2024, supported by its expanding presence in key production markets across North America, the UK & Europe and APAC. From concept design to visualisation and VFX execution, the Group makes stability, synergy and a broad range of services available globally.
Scale and Global Perspective
Each brand has the opportunity to thrive in the marketplace as it rapidly evolves and, at the same time, filmmakers and production companies can access its scale and global perspective to realise ambitious projects.
By combining the individual strengths of its studios, PMG delivers VFX and animation with quality and operational efficiency. With over 40 years of creative experience behind them, the collective can now take advantage of innovations in AI, machine learning and real–time rendering. It integrates India-based with Western teams, resulting in globally coordinated production that makes the most of artistic and operational skills. Options are available to improve financial outcomes as well, through various tax and production benefits.
Phantom Media Group’s executive leadership team includes Chief Executive Officer and Founder Bejoy Arputharaj, Chief Operating Officer Binu Joshua, Chief Business Officer Rajan Ethiraja and Executive Vice President Ian Unterreiner.
Studio Network
Ian Unterreiner said, “PMG brings together the expertise of leading studios into a network that combines scale, agility and innovation. By aligning talent, technology and resources across key regions, we can maintain creative standards for the most complex productions and deliver results at a high standard for clients around the world.”
Bejoy Arputharaj, CEO and Founder of Phantom Media Group, said, "This launch reflects who we are today: a truly global group, built on a phenomenal legacy and powered by a talented team. Each of our studios brings unique strengths, styles and voices. Together, we are expanding our capabilities to foster deeper creative partnerships around the world, while driving continued growth. This is an exciting new chapter – one that shows our ambitions for the future."
