Today on Art of the Cut we speak with director, writer, editor Sean Baker who was nominated for Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing for his film, Anora. He was nominated for BAFTAs for Best Film, Best Editing, Best Casting, Best Screenplay and Best Director. He won AFI’s Movie of the Year, and was nominated for an ACE Eddie.
Sean’s other feature films include Red Rocket, Tangerine, and The Florida Project.
