Get to know
the duo—

▶▶ Kurt Schneider

The car guy

Raised in Detroit with a natural connection to the auto industry, Kurt has shot trucks, performance cars, motorcycles, EVs and vans. In his hands the Tucson stays the hero of every frame, bright and inviting.

▶▶ Tim Bierbaum

The comedy writer

A writer-director from the Comedy Central and Netflix world, Tim builds absurd, outrageous ideas and grounds them in real behavior. He pulls natural performances from celebrities and non-actors alike.

▶▶ Together

Funny cars, real people

Kurt's automotive craft plus Tim's sharp comedic writing means the jokes land without the vehicle getting lost, and the car moments still feel human and fun.

Two voices,
one punchline.
