Hometeam Founders Harrison Winter, Brandon Bloch and Lagan Sebert reflect on the award, “Today is a career best for all of us at Hometeam. It’s a recognition achieved by our talented global community of filmmakers, our entire remote team of expert producers and our forward-thinking clients. We’re filled with gratitude that ‘Fast Company’ saw the innovation at the core of Hometeam. Through our remote production and post-production model, as well as our best-in-class filmmaker network around the world, our mission has always been to bring innovation to content production. Not just in how video content is created for brands, agencies, TV networks and streaming platforms, but also in the impact these innovations have on environmental sustainability, bigger opportunities for filmmakers around the world, helping clients tell more geographically diverse stories with larger-scale creative and giving a voice to underrepresented people both behind and in front of the camera.”
Recently Hometeam has been creating video content across the U.S. and around the world for TV shows on networks like NBC’s The Voice and American Song Contest, streaming platforms HBO Max, Apple TV+, Discovery+, as well as numerous brands and agencies which include Google, Volkswagen, Niantic, Walmart, AmEx and many others.

In 2022, their work for The Voice was nominated for an Emmy and their back-to-school campaign for Walmart won a Clio Award. Up next, on March 24th, Hometeam’s latest project will be launching on Apple TV+. An unscripted show called My Kind Of Country, it was developed and led by Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, in collaboration with Done & Dusted and Sandbox Entertainment. For the project, Hometeam filmmakers around the U.S., South America, South Africa and India filmed cinematic documentary packages of the show’s musical contestants.
