On December 5, the IndieWire Honors Winter 2024 ceremony will celebrate the creators and stars responsible for crafting some of the year’s best films. Curated and selected by IndieWire’s editorial team, IndieWire Honors is a celebration of the filmmakers, artisans, and performers behind films well worth toasting. We’re showcasing their work with new interviews leading up to the Los Angeles event.
Sean Baker is famous for his modern fairy tales, from “Tangerine” and “The Florida Project” to his recent Palme d’Or winner, “Anora.” In his latest and greatest film, the writer/director conjures up a vibrant romance between a witty New York stripper (Mikey Madison) and a Russian oligarch (Mark Eydelshteyn). The critical darling has since become an awards frontrunner with significant Oscar buzz.
That atypical Cinderella story could earn Baker some long overdue credit with the Academy, but the industry has recognized the power of his movies in other ways for years.
