Previous Production:

"Coach" was a fascinating glimpse into the lives of America's less privileged
youth. Director Liam Mc Grath turned his camera onto three New York coaches and observed the blood, sweat and tears of a high school sporting season.This five part series was produced for German/ French broadcaster ARTE.

"Breaking Ball" is an award winning GAA magazine show. Over six successful years we have travelled the length and breadth of the country covering all aspects of the national games.

"THE ROD SQUAD" was Motive's IFTA winning series which followed manager Roddy Collins throughout his misadventures at Carlisle United. The programme exhibited a creative flair and populist touch that made it a cult favourite in the RTE schedules.

"MAROONED" followed the fortunes of Paidi O Sé and the Westmeath team as they bonded together to win a first historic Leinster title. Boasting unprecedented behind the scenes access, it documented the passion that fuelled the football year - from the painful sacrifice of the January rain to one glorious moment in the Midsummer sun.

"BBX" is RTE's youth oriented GAA series and it looks and feels like nothing else on Irish television. We took the traditional format of the highlights show and injected it with a radical energy and appeal. The programme is led by the talented Mairéad Ni Ghormáin, who owns the studio with her style and presence.
