Film and video professional Kelley Baker will speak at noon today in the Rose Theatre at Southeast Missouri State University with advice and stories about Hollywood and surviving in a corporate film world. Baker has worked on six Gus Van Sant movies, including "Finding Forrester," "Good Will Hunting" and "The Adventures of Mark Twain." Between all the major movies, Baker has given lectures telling budding filmmakers to "just shoot it." His nickname, "The Angry Filmmaker," stems from his anger that true independent films are not being made anymore.
