Jeff Baena, Writer-Director and Aubrey Plaza’s Husband, Dead at 47
Jeff Baena, the writer-director of indie films like 'Life After Beth' and 'Horse Girl' and husband of actress Aubrey Plaza, has died at the age of 47.
Baena’s other films include 2016’s Joshy and three movies he made in collaboration with actress Alison Brie: 2017’s The Little Hours(which also co-starred Plaza), 2020’s Horse Girl, and his most recent feature, 2022’s Spin Me Round. “Baena, who co-wrote the script with Brie, has always been someone who throws a bit of a curve in his pitches — this is the guy who penned I Heart Huckabees, and has directed both a zombie love story ( Life After Beth) and a left-field adaptation of Boccaccio’s The Decameron( The Little Hours),” Rolling Stone wrote in its review for Horse Girl. “But the longer Horse Girl lets you spend inside this young woman’s dissociative state of mind, the more you feel your own grasp on the narrative begin to fracture.”
