Happy 49th Birthday, Sean Baker! Born today in 1971, this American editor, cinematographer, screenwriter, producer and film director is known for independent feature films.
These include the 2012 American independent drama/coming of age film 'Starlet', the 2015 American comedy-drama crime film 'Tangerine', and the 2017 American slice of life drama/comedy-drama film 'The Florida Project'.
Of these, Baker is best known for editing, co-filming, co-writing, co-producing and directing 'Tangerine'. The film is set in Hollywood, California on Christmas Eve.
After hearing that her boyfriend/pimp Chester (James Ransone) cheated on her while she was in jail, a transgender hooker named Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) and her best friend Alexandra (Mya Taylor) set out to find him and teach him and his new lover a lesson.
Premiering at the 37th Sundance Film Festival, 'Tangerine' was shot using three iPhone 5S smartphones. The title of the film was chosen after orange became the dominant color when the saturation was pumped up in post-production.
Baker has been active from 2000–present.
