Paul Murphy，Love Birds is the second feature film from talented Kiwi film director Paul Murphy after his 2008 break-out hit feature film Second Hand Wedding – a heart warming comedy that Murphy self-financed, produced and directed.

He ventured out as a Director in 2004 with several television commercials, plus five episodes of children’s TV series The Tribe.
