Dating, when home has wheels
OnlyVans MatchMaker is a FanCast original: a mockumentary in the style of The Office, where single van lifers meet someone who also lives on the road. Real people, real vans, and all the awkwardness that comes with it.
Episode one: Emitt and Jewels
The first episode pairs Emitt, a spiritual van lifer, with Jewels, a writer and poet. They show each other their vans, swap life stories, go thrift shopping and cook a meal, and work out whether two people living in two vans could ever share one.

How it was made
Everything was done in-house, from the idea to the final cut, and filmed at WellSpace and locations around Queenstown. The mockumentary style, with its asides to camera, gives the series a tone you do not usually see in van life content.
