Baker Ready for Business

Early 2012, the return of Brian Baker.  Brian T Baker, or, "BtB', as he's been known by, has been a close friend since college, and we've lived together quite a few times in different houses/spaces/places.  He's kind of an "On the Road" sort of fellow that seems to go wherever life takes him, which has been all over the country.  We worked together many times as filmmakers on various projects, where his skills for producing with a mind for creative and my creative skills with a mind for logistics have balanced very conveniently.  Perhaps six months after we had moved away from New York, he had followed us to Portland - first crashing with us at our house on Division and later moving in with some of us to a different house elsewhere in Portland.

This addition to my life, at the time, had larger ramifications than I would come to realize when it happened.  His presence led me to pick up video/filmmaking again, with him to rally my friend Darren and I as a producer to organize projects.  We got a few gigs and started continuously doing a project for "Banana Stand Media" (bananastandmedia.com/).  This led me to eventually leaving the band I moved to Portland with, in favor of focusing on video once again.
