Mountain Road Productions (MRP) is one of Canada’s leading producers of hybrid design, home renovation and comedy television. As an accomplished, dynamic company that produces innovative and entertaining programs, MRP relishes the challenge and enjoys creating original programs that demonstrate their enthusiasm and passion for television.

Mountain Road Productions was founded in 1997 by Tim Alp - a native of Vancouver, BC, who now resides in Ottawa with his wife and three children.

Recent Mountain Road productions include:

Be Real is the TV show that spontaneously turns regular people’s ordinary lives into their very own reality TV show and it all happens in the spur of the moment. There’s no script, no pre-production, not even a story idea. We choose a random person to star in their own life for a day… just their ordinary life… in front of a camera of course!

Design U is a brand new design series where the design-challenged are whipped into shape with a one-day crash-course in interior design. Then they are given two days to redesign a space in their home, and a budget of $3000 to get it done. At the end of their assignment, their Design Instructor gives them a grade and, hopefully, a diploma from Design U. Design U is currently airing its second season on HGTV Canada and its first season on Discovery Home USA.

Me, My House, and I with Brigitte Gall is a hybrid scripted comedy and home renovation show with a female twist. The host, actor and comedian Brigitte Gall, explores the relationship that people have with their homes as she experiences her own joyous highs and even funnier lows renovating a 100-year-old house. Since its debut on W Network in September 2003 it has grown to be one of their top-rated shows. The series was nominated for a 2004 Gemini Award for Best Practical Information Series. The show's website garnered a 2006 Summit Creative Award. W is currently airing all four seasons with episodes airing on a daily basis.

Broken House Chronicles, a 2002 Gemini Award winner for Best Practical Information Series, takes a hilarious and somewhat unusual look inside the world of home repair. BHC aired on HGTV Canada and the first two seasons of the show can still be seen in the US on Discovery Home. The hosts of the show, George Brook, Ryley Alp and Leigh Uttley were nominated for a 2004 Gemini for Best Host in a Practical Information, or Performing Arts Program or Series.

Lofty Ideas is a popular design series showcasing some of the world’s most beautiful lofts. Although no longer in production, the show ran for five successful seasons on HGTV Canada and HGTV US. It is still broadcast on more than 20 other networks around the world.
