Rebecca Baker, a Zurich-bred, London-based actor, writer, director, producer, and voice-over artist of British/French heritage, was recently seen in two short films screening at the BFI during the London Film Festival 2024: FLYING (Dir. Jack Stockley) and HAMDARDI (Dir. Ashley Tabatabai), which is now eligible for Best Live Action Short Film at the 97th Oscars. She also recently completed a 9-month run in Layered Reality’s JEFF WAYNE’S THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (Dir. Jack Pirie) in the City of London.
 
She began her stage career in the National Theatre’s THE NETWORK (Dir. Ivo van Hove), starring Bryan Cranston and Michelle Dockery, and Secret Cinema’s ROMEO + JULIET (Dir. Fabien Riggall). Over her seven-year career, she has performed in 13 short films and 11 plays, including Shoreditch Town Hall’s THE UNRETURN OF LYDIA OSBORN (Dir. Gabriel Gawin) which she co-wrote and transferred to Summerhall at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2019, and MOISHE (Dir. Maya Katherine), a historical drama about 19th-century Russian Canonists which premiered at Everyman Hampstead in 2024.  
 
In 2019, she wrote, directed, and starred in DAWN OF THE TRANSMATON, an immersive simulation performance about a multi-planetary AI civilisation grieving for humanity’s decline. She holds a Master’s in Acting from Rose Bruford College and a degree from the University of Leeds. 
 
Rebecca recently finished writing her debut poetry book MY PEACE IS MY POWER, novel DANCING THROUGH TIME, and feature film of the same title. She has since adapted it into a short film - now in pre-production with producer Alice Duke at Irresistible Studios - and is also adapting it into a one-woman play to take to Edinburgh Fringe 2025. The story aims to raise awareness and funds for suicide, addiction, and sexual assault prevention.
