Brandon Baity at the 2026 U.S. National Championship.

Brandon Baity (YouTube NanashiStudios; forums handle Thekillerkiwi[1]) is a Portland, Oregon filmmaker and Star Wars CCG player.[2] He finished #47 at the 2026 Tenth Annual GEMPC (Lost Round of 64; Challonge seed 47).[3][4]

His NanashiStudios channel carries SWCCG historical video. It includes the unlisted DecipherCon 2000 championship-match interview, filmed by Derek Brooks, and videos featuring Chuck Kallenbach, Shannon McRandle and Warren Holland.[5][6][7][8]

He directed and edited the 2016 fan film Turning Point (posted 17 July 2017) and launched a GoFundMe on 16 December 2017 for the unreleased documentary One With The Force. That campaign listed Brian Terwilliger as co-producer and Chris Menzel on marketing; it passed a $10,000 goal ($11,069 from 113 donors) and remained paused at 0% complete.[9][10][11] He went to film school in Florida, then Hawai'i, then Oregon. His festival work includes Showdown In Chinatown (Honolulu), the Florida Film Festival (Orlando), and 48-Hour Film Festival events in Washington, D.C. and Portland.[12]
