Ag Lorg Hy-Brasil
After creating a 15-minute short film, which ran at the Irish Pavilion at the 2023 Architectural Biennale in Venice, we have produced a cinematic, feature-length documentary film as part of the ilDÁNA scheme, which is supported by the Irish Arts Council and TG4.
The key individuals involved in the exhibit include not only architects, but also farmers, stone engravers, rope artists, and textile producers. The documentary observes the merging of these skills and components; indeed, the concept purports to show how pure and organic architecture is, especially given the constraints of a desolate Irish landscape.
Ag Lorg Hy-Brasil was filmed in Ireland and Italy.
The Reason of Towns
The Reason of Towns s a new, engaging and ambitious exhibition of the work of one of Ireland's most renowned architects, Valerie Mulvin.
Curated, commissioned and produced by the Irish Architecture Foundation and hosted in partnership with local arts and cultural organisations and venues, this exhibition is a public occasion for the telling and retelling of true stories, lost traditions and possible futures for Irish towns and the people who live in them. The exhibition will travel across Ireland across 2024 and 2025.
One of the exhibits, entitled The Space is the Thing is a especially commissioned 25-minute film produced by Red Pepper. The work runs across two individual screens and features a spatial portrait of Clones, Youghal, Dungarvan and Templemore, describing their 'ordinary-spectacular' forms.

Our project, Answering the Call/Freagairt na Gairme, is now in production.

What We Do
We create engaging (and award-winning!) TV, entertainment with a twist like our wildlife series Fota: Into the Wild (VMTV), our fashion series Gléasta chun Féasta (TG4), couchsurfing with Ó Tholg go Tolg (TG4) and all-round, horsey madness with Hector’s Only Fools Buy Horses (RTÉ)
But we also make thought-provoking documentaries and factual series, because telling compelling stories is kind of our thing...
Róisín Murphy's Big City Plan (how gutted city and town centers could offer a solution in today's housing crisis, RTÉ ONE), Cumhacht An Nádúir (nature's response to the pandemic, TG4), Born Addicted (mothers and babies on methadone, RTÉ ONE), Tar Abhaile (reconnecting descendants with their Irish roots TG4), Behind the Crime (consequences of having a loved-one involved in crime, TV3), How the Irish Have Sex and Back to School (social history series for TV3)
Our versatility has seen Red Pepper Productions being nominated for IFTA's in three different categories: Best Entertainment Series (Only Fools Buy Horses), Best Documentary Series (How the Irish Have Sex) and Young Peoples (Ó Tholg go Tolg)
Ó Tholg go Tolg was also nominated 3 years in a row at the Celtic Media Awards, winning the famous Torc, in the Young People category, for the second series. It also picked up a Gold Remi award at Worldfest Houston.
Having produced over 80 commercials and sponsorship stings with various advertising agencies and for clients directly, we offer experience and exceptional value to all our commercial clients.
