As a professional editor, Josh Bernhard knows a thing or two about keeping organizing and archiving media. As a child, he could often be found reworking an elaborate color-coded labeling system for his stacks of VHS tapes that eventually took over the family room. Always interested in media preservation and new technologies, Josh wrote and produced Pioneer One, the first original series to be distributed via BitTorrent. The show won Best Drama Pilot at the 2010 New York Television Festival, as well as a Best Drama nomination and was a Best Writing honoree at the 2012 Webby Awards.
