Author Talk with Kelley Baker

October 2, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

With no distributor interested in his independent films, Kelley Baker, went looking for his audience in a used minivan with his faithful 120 pound Chocolate Lab, Moses. Every fall and spring they traveled the country showing his films at art house theaters, film festivals, colleges, and biker bars. The experiences he had while traveling the United States with Moses gave him the material to write his new book, Road Dog.

A survivor of USC’s film school, Baker has a BA and an MFA in film production. He is an author, (Road Dog, The Angry Filmmaker Survival Guide: Part One & Part Two) and an independent filmmaker. He has written and directed three full-length features, eight short films and quite a few documentaries. His films have aired on PBS, Canadian and Australian television, and have been shown at Film Festivals including London, Sydney, Annecy, Sao Paulo, Sundance, Chicago, Aspen, Mill Valley and Edinburgh.

In addition to his own films he was the sound designer on six of Gus Van Sant’s feature films including, My Own Private Idaho, Good Will Hunting, and Finding Forrester, and Todd Haynes film, Far From Heaven. He also did the sound on Will Vinton’s, The Adventures of Mark Twain, and three Claymation specials for CBS.
