About

VIDEO VULTURES NEW YORK CITY CRIME 1980-1990 From 1985 until 2003 former New York Daily News photographer Joseph DeMaria ran V&P News Service. Armed with high quality video cameras, former Daily News photographers, police radios and "arrangements" with New York's finest, V&P New Service were often the first responders to many of the city's most lurid, grizzly and important news stories. From drug arrests, murders and hostage situations, to bombings and acts of terror (extensive 9/11 footage included), these “Video Vultures” were the first ones to show up and were given unfettered access to the crime scenes. They licensed their exclusive footage to news stations and networks around the world. If you have seen the recent movie "Nightcrawler" you will get the picture. Historic Films Archive’s VIDEO VULTURE'S NEW YORK CITY CRIME channel will present this incredible footage in it’s unedited raw form – A rare glimpse at the seedy side of New York City before cell phone cameras.
