The experience of literally dropping into an unfamiliar city or town and building shoot teams, securing locations, selecting talent and just making it all come together for a successful shoot enabled Pepper to hone her skills in the field, not behind a desk. In addition to Fox, Pepper has been on the producer team for several made for television movies and feature films. She’s supervised and managed projects from $5,000 to 5 million. Her work with Travel Channel for 2 series allowed her to branch out creatively, writing and directing in addition to producing.

She is a graduate of Leadership Jacksonville, Class of 2011.

Robinson Academy Award nominated Building Bombs (1990), in a new 4k film restoration, revisits the glory days of the atomic age, its legacy of nuclear weapons waste, and its troubling questions still unanswered. Insider stories and rare archival footage reveal the inner workings of one of the world’s largest nuclear bomb plants and its toll on the environment and human hearts. Of historical interest, the film sparked a movement by ordinary people and rock stars that changed U.S. national policy. With the abandonment of nuclear treaties by the world’s superpowers and call for the use of nuclear weapons, Building Bombs provides key insights and impetus to tackle these issues for audiences today.
