[3] After he graduated from Boston University in 2005,[4] Weinstein went to India to document the life of Sharad Kumar Dixit in the film Flying On One Engine.

The Director of Film at SXSW, Janet Pierson, commented that, "Flying On One Engine is teeming with life, capturing raw, intimate moments soaked through with humor and surprise... It’s clear that director Joshua Weinstein, a recent BU grad, has a great way with people as well as a great feel for the telling moment.

In The New York Times review, it was written that, "There’s an authenticity to "Drivers Wanted" that seems so true and tough that it overwhelms any standard immigrants-up-from-their-bootstraps theme.

The film was shot over the course of two years in Borough Park, Brooklyn, which is home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish populations outside of Israel, a decision that Weinstein has said was motivated by a desire for authenticity.
