Who is Keirda Bahruth?
Keirda Bahruth is an American filmmaker based in Los Angeles, CA. She began her career working on Music Videos and Commercials before a move to New York teamed her up with legendary Saturday Night Live director James Signorelli, famous for his commercial parody sketches. As Signorelli's assistant, she began shooting behind-the-scenes footage of life at SNL for the show’s 25th Anniversary Special, which gave her complete access to the inner workings of the show. After three full seasons at SNL, Bahruth returned to Los Angeles in 2001 and joined the nascent world of reality television. She has worked as a director and producer on shows for the Discovery Channel, E!, Fox, NBC/Universal, The WB and BET.
By 2004, Bahruth began shooting Bob and the Monster, her first documentary feature about indie-punk cult hero Bob Forrest. A critically acclaimed songwriter, whose band Thelonious Monster had come up with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fishbone and Jane's Addiction, Forrest was lauded as the next Bob Dylan and roundly admired by music legends such as Tom Waits and Joe Strummer, yet wallowed in the outskirts of success as he colorfully and tragically undermined his own opportunities due to various inner demons including drug addiction. Bob and the Monster was completed in 2011 and made its World Premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX. The film is currently playing festivals worldwide.
