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. For us, it’s stories about the artistic process that 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.

 

Along the way, 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, continue to travel on the festival circuit.  One of twelve films selected to be part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, RANDOM LUNACY will screen in eight states in March 2009.

 

Our latest project for Asia Society, EXPANDING HORIZONS, bowed in January 2009.  Hosted by CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien, this short documentary addresses the importance of incorporating global literacy into U.S. afterschool and summer programs.  To view the show, please visit www.AsiaSociety.org/AFTERSCHOOL.
