In 1975, a group of Baker House and East Campus residents created The Twist of the Tool as a film class project.

Roger White writes that The Twist of the Tool was "a 20 min movie where Kirk and Spock land at MIT and meet [drumroll] The Director. He unleashes The Beast and Godzilla on them while they try to rescue Coedda and the other MIT students from becoming nerds ... It was shown for many years as a short at MIT movies.  This was the first time a video game (Space War) was used to introduce a movie."

Bakerites in the cast include: Mike Balin, John Chisolm, Roger White, Jim Moody, and Phil Mandel.

More tidbits, according to Roger:

• It was shown on Boston TV that year
• It's the first time a video game was used to introduce a movie.
• It's a wonderful tour of the MIT campus as well as the students: Baker House, Building Ten, McCormick dating rooms, basements, Green building and more
• It's just as calculators are surpassing slide rules, so both are in the movie
• It was used as a short at LSC movies for several years
• It was a blast to make it, and all that were involved had a fun time and loved it
