The third episode in the Vultures series; ‘The Mystery Of The Night Time Refuse’ went online today, and is now FREE TO WATCH on VulturesPI.com.The new installment follows the dysfunctional detectives of Vultures Private Investigators as they move into a new office, only to be accused of rubbish dumping outside the new premises.

When they are threatened with eviction by scarily intense litter warden Ned Savage, the detectives must get to the bottom of… lots of bin bags. Are they being framed? Is someone trying to get them kicked out of office after office? Why are their belongings in this new rubbish? And does Eddie Hobbs actually write his own books?

With a new crew and office in place, Vultures is kicking up a gear as the first series motors on, filming has already begun on episode 4. As I’ve mentioned before I’m directing this episode, my first venture into directing. The project was awarded funding by the Arts Office in Kilkenny in order to complete a 6 episode series for internet distribution.

The series has been developed by my good friends Paddy Dunne, John Morton and Alan Slattery over the past two years as the flagship project of local production company Mycrofilms.
