Career

While attending Tulane University, Basch was hired by Oscar-winning writer/director Steven Zaillian as his assistant.{{Cite web |last=Rose |first=Lacey |date=2013-11-06 |title=Next Gen 2013: Hollywood’s New Class |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/next-gen-2013-hollywoods-new-653466/ |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}} The pair later formed Film Rites, a production company whose work included Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and the HBO limited series The Night Of.{{Cite web |last=Siegel |first=Tatiana |date=2014-01-27 |title=Fox Re-Ups First-Look Deal With Steve Zaillian’s Film Rites (Exclusive) |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/fox-ups-first-look-deal-674429/ |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}} In addition to scripted content, Basch produced the documentary film Life Itself, for which he won the Producers Guild of America Award in 2015.{{Cite web |last=McNary |first=Dave |date=2015-01-25 |title=‘Birdman’ Wins Producers Guild Award for Best Movie |url=https://variety.com/2015/film/awards/the-lego-movie-wins-producers-guild-animated-award-1201414193/ |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}

Although HBO initially passed on The Night Of, Basch was instrumental in saving the show by screening the pilot for Netflix and FX executives, sparking a bidding war that ultimately led HBO to order the limited series. He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series for The Night Of in 2017. He was nominated again for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2020 and 2022 for FX's What We Do in the Shadows.{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-emmys-nominees-winners-list-2017-story.html|title='Westworld' and 'Saturday Night Live' lead the 2017 Emmy nominations.
