AWE Network | Global Passport
This 2018 pilot episode, which earned an Emmy Award for Editing (credit: Schwartzy) and another for Producing (credit: Christina Cindrich), is a bit dated but something we wanted to add to our Featured Work because it marked the start of a 4 season successful travel series and was a big win for both Schwartzy and Christina.
This is 'Global Passport,' a travel TV series shot and edited by Schwartzy in collaboration with the 4x Emmy winning Host & Producer, Christina Cindrich.
This quick social sizzle from 2018 is a glimpse into the essence of the series. This is Episode 1 / Season 1, showcasing the finest restaurants and hotels in Cuba, the secrets to making the perfect mojito, exploring the flourishing art culture, introducing the world's best cigar farmer (Bonito), delving into the rich history of Cuba, and much more.
Big thanks to Cuba's Tourism Board for their gracious hospitality and support, guiding us through Cuba’s hidden gems.
SCOPE: Aaron handled Director of Photography, Photography, Editing, Sound, Directing. (in 2018)
The Result
The result still amazes us. Only two people made this TV show back in 2018. Aaron shot everything himself, ran multiple cameras, handled sound, and edited the entire series. Christina produced it, hosted it, wrote it, and voiced it. No big crew, no network machine behind us, just two people who believed a great travel series could be done in a lean way. Christina had already made a number of travel shows. Aaron had already been a part of a successful Travel Channel show he helped create. We believed we could make something and keep things lean but watchable.
It was a goal we weren't totally sure we'd ever reach, but would be fun to try, and it didn't just get picked up. It ran four seasons and won us both Emmy Awards for editing and producing. This was obviously a big win for the network as well because the show was a success.
We like to think it’s clear proof of what Schwartzy can actually bring to the table: bringing the right people who can do work at any scale. If we can build an award-winning TV series with just two people, imagine what we can do for you. ;-)
