Rich Peppiatt joins Eleanor

Reecting on the power of his work, Sophie Gold, President of Eleanor, shared, “When my husband suggested we watch Kneecap on a date night, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Film about an Irish hip-hop band rapping in Gaelic. But from the opening scene, I was blown away. The Film is perfectly paced, wickedly funny, and utterly brilliant. By the end, I turned to my husband and said, ‘This is the best lm I’ve seen all year.’ Naturally, I reached out to Rich immediately.”

Before his directorial career, Peppiatt made headlines with his hard-hitting critique of his experience as a journalist, toured nationally as an esteemed stand-up, and built a reputation as an acclaimed TV writer, earning a Scottish RTS & BAFTA. With a creative journey that deed expectations at every turn, Peppiatt's distinct narratives promise an intoxicating blend of authenticity and adventure. 

On his new chapter, Peppiatt shared, “Moving from the narrative world into the advertising world, I'm excited by projects that allow for exploration. In advertising’s heyday, directors had the freedom to push the boat out creatively and test out ideas. Storytelling has always been about pushing boundaries and connecting with audiences in unexpected ways. I want to be part of the return to that level of creative ambition. Whether in lm or advertising, my focus remains on creating work that entertains and resonates.” 

Rich Peppiatt’s addition to Eleanor’s roster represents a meeting of creative minds, with Eleanor offering a platform for Peppiatt’s distinctive voice to continue breaking new ground. His track record speaks for itself: a BAFTA Award-winning journalist-turned-lmmaker, Peppiatt’s work is a testament to the enduring power of daring, authentic storytelling.
