It was established in May 2000 as Crusader Entertainment as a joint venture between Howard Baldwin and Karen Baldwin, and Anschutz Entertainment Group, and was renamed as Bristol Bay Productions in 2004.
History In May 2000, Howard Baldwin and Karen Bladwin formed a company, Crusader Entertainment, which in January 2001, had a first-look deal with Paramount Pictures to distribute its output.
