Pipopingviini

We love penguins, we love the environment, we love kids! We're the team behind Pipopingviini (known as The Red Herring in English), a new book and film.

The Red Herring is raising funds on Indiegogo to finish the film! We are nearly there. Check out the video to see what we’ve been up to!

Pipopingviini finds its soundtrack....

We're really looking forward to a collaborating with a brilliant composer as part of the Scoring For Film Award organised by @IMROireland, Filmbase, Screen Training Ireland and the Contemporary Music Centre.

This clever programme pairs filmmakers and composers, culminating in an opportunity to record an original score with the amazing RTE Concert Orchestra.

We can't wait to get stuck in and find Pipopingviini's adventures the perfect soundtrack!

We've had the privilege

...of getting to know some really talented artists over the last months as we all work together to bring The Red Herringto the screen.

So we wanted to share a few links to some of their websites and blogs. Enjoy!
