As an only child growing up in many small towns of the west Texas oilfields, Filmmaker Bobbie Baird developed a love of stories stories told through films, books, theater, and paintings. Many a night she and her mom watched old movies together on their black and white television until the sun came up the next morning. Through the years this turned into a dream of making her own films, telling her own stories. Life moved on and she went on to graduate with degrees in geology and geophysics and thrived in the fast paced world of international business living in France and China. Her personal and professional life took her to over 40 different countries throughout the world where she continued meeting people and collecting stories. Fast forward 25 years to 2012 when she decided to start a new life chapter, pursuing her dream of making films. Since then, she has been learning as much as possible about filmmaking through a combination of structured workshops, hands-on apprenticeship, and creating films for small, socially conscious companies and non-profits. She is focusing primarily on documentary storytelling and each day is providing tremendous growth opportunities.

I’m a journalist and a writer. I've got facts when you need them. I'm creative when it counts. I specialize in human-interest stories, long-form nonfiction, magazine writing, profiles and ghostwriting. I speak to the experts, read the reports, analyze the data and make sense of it all. I go beyond the 24-hour news cycle to write stories from the undercurrent. I lead with curiosity and ask what is necessary. The result is a story where the numbers have meaning, the names have faces and the issues are real. From a superstitious mortuary beautician in Harlem, N.Y. to discovering the same under-performing companies win healthcare contracts in Bangladesh, my breadth of work highlights my knack for immersive writing and data journalism. My work has appeared in Columbia Journalism Review, IB Times, Narratively, Houstonia, TakePart and GOOD. As a writer and communications specialist, my expertise and services include professional writing like proposals, presentations, communication plans, marketing and website content, and copy editing. I never turn down an adventure, and most of my travels have been planned on a whim. My latest exploration: Buddhist temples in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China. I have a master's degree in Journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's degree in Communications Management and Design from Ithaca College. It won’t write itself, so send it my way.

I am an award-winning director/producer with a track record of professionalism, organization, "happy" sets, and always (always!) timeliness and solid communication. At the end of a shoot, clients have confidence in the process knowing the final product will meet and exceed expectations. In an interview setting, our feedback is often that the crew was so 'nice and professional'. It sounds so simple, but being likable means that a subject feels more comfortable opening up, expressing themselves, and speaking from the heart. And the crew is organized, well-informed, and well-versed in the expectations. That translates to content that is natural, polished, and professional. In my book, that's a home run. I am also an Emmy-nominated copywriter with a skill for listening to and identifying the goal, and creating copy that not only fits the project but succinctly and successfully tells the story or nails the desired result. I am available as a producer or copywriter but can also come with a full crew and equipment when/if needed.
