Redbreast Irish Whiskey has launched 'Redbreast Unhidden,' a global initiative in collaboration with actor Andrew Scott and the SXSW Film & TV Festival. This project is part of Redbreast’s 'Quite the Find' campaign and it aims to showcase lesser-known films and emerging filmmakers.
'Redbreast Unhidden' celebrates the discovery of hidden treasures by drawing a parallel between the intricate layers of its single pot still Irish whiskey and the depth of unique storytelling in film. Six short films were selected by Andrew Scott and Redbreast Irish Whiskey for for their authenticity and craftsmanship. These will be featured at SXSW, with one filmmaker receiving the inaugural Redbreast Unhidden Award.
In addition to being a unique branding opportunity, this initiative addresses the challenge audiences face in discovering original films, as highlighted by recent research.
