BARRY BAKER: ASPIRING SERIAL KILLER EPISODE 1

After receiving his destiny from a fortune cookie, a lonely office worker, Barry Baker, has a hard time adjusting to his new found calling as a serial killer. Just because you are meant to do something… doesn’t mean you will be good at it. Starring: Peter Konowicz, Nathan Jokela, Danae DeShazer, and Paul Saulo Directed and written by: Tony Ahedo   “Barry Baker: Aspiring Serial Killer” proves to be an effective mix of comedy and horror. The first episode begins heavy on the comedy, as the audience gets introduced to Barry (Peter Konowicz). Barry is definitely not a natural born serial killer.
