He participated in SOURCES 2, the screenwriting laboratory of the European Union' Media II initiative and taught documentary filmmaking at UCLA extension.

In 1993, while still a student in Tel Aviv, he became the protégé of director David Perlov, a laureate of the Israel Prize. Following their first project, "Tel Katzir 1993," he collaborated as researcher, writer and assistant director on four of Perlov's films.

In 1994, he produced "Video Dance Premiers 1994," a collection of videodance made for the Batsheva Dance Company.

In the early 2000s he collaborated on the un-produced screenplay "Whiteout" with Carl Gottlieb, and wrote the un-produced screenplay "Plastic Bridges," through improvisations with a group of actors including Enrico Colantoni and Amy Pietz.

Since 2006, he is the president and co-owner with Nancy Sexton of 4881 LLC, a multifaceted platform, serving as a launch pad for creativity. Amongst others, the collaboration between Bar and Sexton created the award winning screenplay "Type O," and the screenplays to the romantic comedy "Bonus Day" and the animation feature "Ruby", both currently (2013) in pre-production.

In 2011, he co-authored with Nancy Sexton the book "Write Your Film," a screenwriting manual exploring the two unique writing system and collaboration.
