HOME TEAM PRODUCTIONS has been producing and directing award-winning documentary films, television, and not-for-broadcast projects since 1999.

 

Directors Stephanie Silber and Vic Zimet bring a fierce indie spirit to each and every creation. HOME TEAM PRODUCTIONS prides itself on a broad-based expertise – our combined forty years of experience runs the gamut, from independent filmmaking, to television specials and documentaries, to educational videos. We’ve produced shows for BRAVO; LIFETIME; FX CHANNEL; FOX FAMILY; and TG-4 in Ireland, among other outlets. Not-for-broadcast clients have included non-profits ASIA SOCIETY; JEWISH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY; and Rob Reiner’s I AM YOUR CHILD FOUNDATION. Stories about the artistic process inspire and ignite us, such as our BRAVO Profiles on Cyndi Lauper and Robert Duvall. The Duvall profile was awarded a Telly as well as an Aurora Award. SONGS & STORIES, a bittersweet documentary about the late Irish blues guitar great, Rory Gallagher, is also an up-close-and-personal examination of an artist’s life. The film premiered on Ireland’s TG-4.

 

Other luminaries we’ve been honored to work with are Gene Hackman; James Caan; Cassandra Wilson; James Earl Jones; Horton Foote; Ulu Grosbard; and Tim McCarver. Indie docs BLACK 47 AT CONNOLLY’S, which is a look at the perennial Irish roots rock band and its erudite frontman Larry Kirwan, and RANDOM LUNACY, about the long, strange life of radically itinerant Poppa Neutrino, both have enjoyed successful festival runs. RANDOM LUNACY, a three-time Best Doc winner and the Closing Night selection at New York Underground Film Festival, was one of twelve films selected to be part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, screening in eight states in March 2009.

 

Along with past work for Asia Society, in 2009 we completed back to back projects: EXPANDING HORIZONS, hosted by CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien, is a short documentary addressing the importance of incorporating global literacy into U.S. afterschool and summer programs. To view the show, please visit www.AsiaSociety.org/afterschool. We followed up with LEARNING CHINESE IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS, a DVD roll-out intended for distribution in school systems throughout the United States and in China. Watch it online at www.AsiaSociety.org/chinese.
