Steve Barancik broke into the film business with his first screenplay, "Buffalo Girls," later filmed and released as the The Last Seduction (1994). The film premiered as an HBO movie before going on shortly after to arthouse success. Actress Linda Fiorentino received notoriety for playing the movie's femme fatale, Bridget Gregory/Wendy Kroy, and Barancik was nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for best mystery/crime screenplay of 1994.
Barancik worked steadily in the industry but with little to show for it until receiving shared screenplay credit for 2002's No Good Deed. He also received shared story credit for 2005's Domino.
Barancik is also the founder and a regular performer in Monolog Cabin, a group featuring writers performing comedic personal essays, which performs at Club Congress in Tucson, Arizona.
Barancik has also developed a website devoted to the subject of quality children's books.
