He made his directorial film debut with Four Letter Words (2000) and co-created the television character Greg the Bunny. Baker has since directed seven feature films: Take Out (2004), Prince of Broadway (2008), Starlet (2012), Tangerine (2015), The Florida Project (2017), Red Rocket (2021), and Anora (2024).
Baker has received several accolades. For Anora, he received the Palme d'Or and, alongside his wife Samantha Quan, the British Academy Film Award for Best Casting, before proceeding to win Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing at the 97th Academy Awards.

Baker is married to Samantha Quan, a producer on three of his films. As of July 2021, they had two dogs, Bunsen and Boonee, the latter of whom played the titular character in his 2012 film Starlet. Boonee died in 2023.
Baker said at a 2024 press conference in Cannes, France, that he believes sex work should be "decriminalized and not in any way regulated, because it's a sex worker's body and it's up to them to decide how they will use it in their livelihood." Baker was an opiate addict in his 20s. | |
