Prior to embarking on his film career he was a successful magazine publisher and journalist. In 2006 Port Town premiered at the third annual LAHIFF. The feature documentary was inspired by some of the best stories published by San Pedro Magazine, which Baric founded in 2002. Subsequent film projects include feature documentaries: Searching for A Storm (premiered at LAHIFF 2009) chronicles war crimes case of Croatian general, Ante Gotovina, Bloody Thursday, the story of how West Coast dockworkers overcame huge odds to win their union during the Great Depression; and A City Divided, the history of the USC vs. UCLA L.A. cross town football rivalry.
