He worked for Eastern Mountain Sports in Boston, at Sierra Designs in Berkeley, California, and then co-managed a retail store for Marmot Mountain Works. In 1980 at the invitation of a film editor friend in New York, Bayard began work in the motion picture industry as an 'unofficial' apprentice film editor on They All Laughed (1981) directed by Peter Bogdanovich, and then on Ragtime (1981), a film directed by Milos Forman. He then returned to the West coast to be an assistant editor at Lucas Film on the Emmy Award winning documentary The Making of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981) (TV). One day, Mr. Carey visited the Marmot Mountain Works store in Berkeley, CA where members of the crew for the feature film Never Cry Wolf (1983) were purchasing cold weather gear. He was able to wrangle a job as personal assistant to the director, Carroll Ballard. Finally, Bayard moved to Los Angeles and began to work for Sam Peckinpah as his driver, location scout, set p.a., cable person, and then as the sound recordist on The Osterman Weekend (1983).
