Joshua Kirschner

Car Matchmaker is a fast paced, short deadline, and multi-location production filmed primarily in Los Angeles. My role was to book vehicles, locations, create one sheets, and work with the car buyers to create the final story. In the field the job ranges from fact checking and tracking story to acting as AD and being the point of contact for site reps and talent.

Molly Ringwald Episode

A 5 episode special for Esquire network that was launched in conjunction with the magazine's annual column, the show went from concept the completion in a very short period of time. My role required working constantly with Esquire magazine as well as the major car manufactures to secure the proper vehicles for the show. Additionally I worked on one sheets, episode breakdowns and handled all of the logistics. During filming my main duty was to track story and work with the hosts to ensure we maintained the correct story beats.

Sean Hayes Episode: In the pre production phase I worked with the director to hone in on the story, and simultaneously worked on finding locations and booking historians for the shoot. On location I was responsible for tracking story, prepping the historical contributors, continuity and fact checking.

Working directly with the company owner/ EP, I was responsible for taking the best ideas and getting them ready to pitch. This included research, working closely with potential talent, gauging feasibility by reaching out to potential contributors, creating one sheets and episode breakdowns. Several of these ideas have generated interest from major production companies.

At BBC Worldwide I worked on a series called "Top Gear USA" for History. Some of my duties for the episodes I produced were: pitching story/ challenge ideas during preproduction, writing synopses and outlines, and managing the episode budget. In the field I was in charge of tracking story and working directly with the hosts to ensure we captured the content we needed.

This was very much a logistics position, assisting the producer with setting up the episode. This ranges from clearing locations, finding cars, and pulling road permits all over the country.

Lonely planet Television created bespoke web content, tourism board videos and two Travel Channel television series. In addition to production coordinating I was also given the opportunity to field produce segments for Travel Channel and several web series. I also oversaw various development projects in the post production process.
