New television series to be set in Inishowen - and you can be part of it

People in Inishowen are being urged to meet to discuss making a television series about the peninsula. 

The hilarious Pilot episode for a TV sit-com series based on the book 'FIVE' - with Inishowen being the fifth province - was pitched at the Galway Film Fleadh earlier this year; it received much interest from national/ international and streaming TV Stations.

Apart from displaying all the beautiful scenery and magnificent beaches of the area, many local amenities and attractions are to be highlighted. 

“Over the course of the series, hotels, bars, restaurants, as well as many business premises, will be featured,” says Brendan Moran, script writer, producer, and director at Muff Direct

“Company vehicles and signs will be seen; everything possible to further promote Inishowen and its commercial life and tourism will be (subtly) incorporated. Inishowen is three times the size of Dublin urban area; is it not time we had some recognition?

“When aired on national/ international television, not only will it provide much-needed local amusement, it will benefit just about every man, woman and child in Inishowen, attracting tourism and business into the area.  

“As an 81 year old pensioner, I'm afraid that I no longer carry much weight in persuading the powers that be – but you, the professionals, the business people, the hoteliers, the publicans and shopkeepers; the politicians … you, who represent the 35,000 inhabitants of Inishowen - most of whom contribute by paying a TV Licence! Yes, you could have some influence; you could help make it happen.

“All I'm asking is that you TALK about it; discuss it with fellow business associates, colleagues, friends, neighbours, anyone - everyone! If we get a conversation going, sooner or later, we may succeed. If you have any interest at all in this project, If you want to see Inishowen on your TV set, and if you would like to be involved, please contact me, Brendan Moran on contact@muff-direct.net. A meeting will be held for all interested parties to discuss details.”
