Bruber is largely shot in Mon-
mouth County where they now
live. Vincent is originally from
Somerset County while Eve is
from Upstate New York in the
Catskills region. Each show is
scripted and inspired by Vin-
cent’s Uber passengers. Most of
the action takes place in his car
while he is driving, which he says
makes the acting easier for him
but scares his wife.
“My wife still thinks we’re go-
ing to die,” he explains. “Be-
cause she’s in the passenger
seat turned around (still wearing
her seat belt to prevent the car
from beeping the whole time)
and just facing back, trying to
get good shots while I’m driving.
Of course, a lot of the roads are
bumpy and we wind up having
to redo a lot of shots - espe-
cially on the road between Long
Branch and Asbury Park. We do
a lot of shooting over there and
there are a lot of pot holes.”

Acting is somewhat new for
Vincent who worked at a talent
agency in Manhattan for about
13 years, serving as the in-house
reader for the actors. In a way,
the job was his own acting school
as Vincent was technically acting
every day of his job. Meanwhile
Eve is a professional video edi-
tor (even though Vincent edits
the Bruber series). They met at
a party in Atlantic Highlands that
Vincent’s band was performing
at and hit it off. Eventually they
realized they had film school in
common and thought working
together might be fun. His Uber
driving gave them the perfect
story and an abundance of mate-
rial to work with.
“Whenever I’ve taken Uber I’ve
always talked to the driver and
we share stories, but they don’t
seem to have as many crazy sto-
ries,” said Brue. “Maybe it’s me.
I think I’m a magnet for crazy
people.”
