Rebecca Baker is a Zürich-bred, London-based actor, writer, producer. A BIFA-qualifying film festival panelist, she is also co-founder of Cut + Roll Films, a film production company recently established alongside producer Alice Duke (Irresistible Studios) to create films that challenge views and spark debate.

​

As an actor, Rebecca’s screen credits include Juice (BBC), Flying (Blue Muse Productions), Moishe, (Midnight Runners), Hamdardi (Taba Productions), & more, with both the latter films - with Rebecca’s involvement - screening at the BFI during the London Film Festival ‘24.  Her stage credits include 9-month lead in London West End’s The War of the Worlds (Layered Reality), The Network, (National Theatre), Romeo + Juliet (Secret Cinema), The Unreturn of Lydia Osborn, (Summerhall, Edinburgh), which she co-wrote/associate produced & more.

As writer and producer, Rebecca has been developing dark comedy thriller miniseries Dancing Through Time, as well as a psychological thriller semi-autobiographical feature Not Quiet Here. Both projects draw from real-life experiences in the legal and mental healthcare system, aiming to raise awareness and funds for PTSD recovery. The feature’s short film adaptation Drowning - a semi-finalist in the Sunday Shorts Film Festival Best Script competition - is in pre-production with award-winning director Reiff Gaskell, producer Alice Duke, cinematographer Ola Mesmer, and Executive Producer Nicholas Pinnock. The film is being produced by Cut + Roll Films in collaboration with Silver Milk Productions.

In 2019, Rebecca wrote, directed, produced and starred in Dawn of the Transmaton with Iconic British, an immersive show depicting a multi-planetary Al civilisation mourning humanity’s decline. She has since adapted the play into the feature film The Zen of AI, currently in script development.

 

Alongside Drowning, she is co-producing Scratching Post, written by BIFA-winning actor and writer Abigail Hardingham and directed by Oscar, BIFA and BAFTA longlisted director Louisa Connolly-Burnham - whose most recent film Sister Wives is currently streaming on Channel 4 - as well as The Front Seat with award-winning director Aella Jordan-Edge - whose most recent film Truckload, starring Jodie Whittaker, is set for release summer 2025, and body horror Animal with writer/director Angelica Gayle as Executive Producer.
