It's been over six months since I've posted a blog! About time for me to get up off my arse and start typing....
So much has happened since Skunk Fu! wrapped... the main thing being Vultures - a sitcom about dicks...... private dicks.
Vultures was initially conceived while John Morton and myself were teaching a film production course to secondary school students in the Cistercian Monastery in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary , for two weeks. We were living on campus so we didn't have much to do in the evenings other than talk about projects we'd like to work on. One idea we were kicking around was a sitcom, but we didn't know what to write about.
Then one evening, as we were sitting in my car in the middle of Roscrea about to head back to the Monastery, we saw a bunch of men entering an old, rundown looking building. They give a little knock on this big old door and it would open, as if by magic. We were a little bored so we just decided to stalk out the building and figure what was going on inside.
That was the night that John decided that our sitcom should be about private investigators.
We soon enlisted the help of Paddy Dunne, a graphic designer and animator who knows his sitcoms. Paddy and John wrote the pilot episode, The Kris Kringle Konundrum which went into production in December, 2007.
During the week I'm going to write a blog about the actual shooting of the Pilot and next week I'll go into detail on the post production and distribution process. In the meantime why not check out the pilot for yourself!
