Kirk Huston

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know Kirk Huston. Kirk is the Transportation Coordinator for some of the best television shows and films of the past 3 decades. In this episode, we chat about how someone gets into this business. Then Kirk shares stories of his path to where he is now. Starting off as a Transportation Captain and moving his way through the ranks; Kirk is now co-owner of his very own Hollywood “Transpo” company. Kirk has worked on such films as “Scream”, “Captain Fantastic”, (and more), he has also worked on the television series “Bosch”, “Bosch: Legacy”, “Ballard”, the upcoming “Start of Watch”, and others. He is kind enough to share stories from the sets of all of these projects. He even tells an amazing story about acquiring & storing “Steve the Bus” for the movie “Captain Fantastic”. He also shares some of the behind-the-scenes stuff about Harry Bosch’s car on the series, and some of the modifications necessary to get some of the on-film shots, and what happened to the car after the show ended. He also explains the process of wrecking a vehicle on screen and what that entails. He even tells some hilarious stories about vehicle mishaps on smaller indie films, and how the different departments on a production work together to get the job done!
