Jeff Baena, an indie filmmaker renowned for his unique comedic style, has died at the age of 47 at his Los Angeles residence, confirmed by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. While the cause of death remains unknown, it is reported that Baena was found by his assistant on Friday morning (source: The Daily Beast, CBS News).
Raised in Miami and a graduate of New York University, Baena became known for his collaboration with Aubrey Plaza, his wife and frequent leading actress. His notable works include Life After Beth (2014), a dark romantic comedy, and the critically acclaimed The Little Hours (2017) (source: HuffPost, CNN).
The couple, who reportedly wed in a spontaneous backyard ceremony in 2021, often shared their creative journey. Plaza expressed her admiration, stating, "It felt like it made sense" for her to have a producer role in Baena's films due to their longstanding partnership (source: Salon).
Baena's filmography also includes the 2004 collaboration with David O. Russell on I Heart Huckabees, and later projects such as Spin Me Round (2022) and the series Cinema Toast (2021) (source: USA Today, The Guardian).
Survived by Plaza, his mother Barbara Stern, father Scott Baena, and other family members, he leaves behind a remarkable legacy within the independent film community, remembered for his distinctive storytelling and deep connections with his collaborators.
