Who We Are
New Departures Media is one of Ireland’s leading independently owned production companies with a passion for telling stories that connect with global audiences. We pride ourselves on our motto of ‘Stories that Travel’
Headed by Executive Producer/Director Evan Chamberlain, we have been at the forefront of high-end television production for over 25 years, serving both Irish and international markets.
Focusing on factual entertainment, lifestyle, travel and documentary formats, we have a proven track record of creating innovative and entertaining fresh formats.
We are particularly known for our successful collaboration with Award-Winning travel presenter, Hector Ó hEochagáin for the last 21 years, our reality show ‘Feirm Factor’ which became an unlikely hot property on the international formats market and our latest ratings buster ‘Contractors’ following the subculture of the Agricultural Contractor which is now in Pre-Production for Season 3 on TG4.
