Sean Baker Has Shot and Completed A New Film in Upstate New York

March 12, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

Here’s some good news.

After “Tangerine,” “The Florida Project” and Red Rocket,” I’m being told Sean Baker has already shot and completed his next movie in Upstate New York.

In December, Production Weekly had listed that he was going to shoot a new film,” working title “Anora,” in Vegas this Spring, but plans seemed to have changed and Baker instead filmed this New York story.

No further plot details were mentioned to me except that it was a breezy six-week shoot. I’m sure we’ll be learning more about it in the days to come.

There’s a fascinating movement going on in American indie cinema. Sean Baker and the Safdies are creating what I like to call “Gutter Poetry,” cinema out of the American middle and lower class. It’s resulted in some great films these last few years.

It is with a sense of freedom, freshness and energy that, in Baker’s mise-en-scenes, from the camera to the non-professional actors, his films map contemporary America in such illuminating fashion. With his last three films, Baker has cemented his status as one of the best working American directors today.
