The Andy Baker Tape was written, shot, and edited in a 6-month period during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Created by a displaced screen actor, an out-of-work Blue Man, an Australian based sound engineer, and a first time female producer; the film is testament to creation and keeping the artistic spirit alive while the rest of the world was forced into a hibernation. Our story is a joyride of laughs, thrills, and suspense. My team and I are delighted to share it with you.
