- About Fred Baker (1932-2011) filmmaker, actor, director, screenwriter and jazz musician, born in Los Angeles, passed away in New York. Baker was among the subversive, experimental, underground filmmakers of the 1960s and '70s, turning out films such as "Events," "The Murder of Fred Hampton" and 1992's "White Trash." He was an uncredited exec producer on Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 classic "The Battle of Algiers." Also a longtime friend of comedian Lenny Bruce and creator/producer of the 1972 documentary "Lenny Bruce Without Tears." In this short film student Daoud Abu-Bakr sets out to find Fred Baker. And he did.
